is it possible to customize out of the box agent checks?

Hello,

we have some customers that would like to change (add or remove) several checks (queries of metrics being pulled) by some out-of-the-box agents (e.g storage collertor and VMwarePerformance)

is this possible? can the information that is being provided byy those agents be modified?

(this is of course being asked after consideration of using script of custom agents to do this task)

thanks in advance,

Hi Lee,
thanks for this.

i'll give a quick example of what im trying to achieve here:

i have a netapp filer being monitored by the storage agent
i would the default storage agent to also run a linux command on that filer when it monitors it, and send the result back to foglight in some way. (so i will not need additional script agent to just pull some info from that filer that the out of the box does not pull.

or, make the VMwarePerfomrmance Agent stop running specific commands when pulling information using vCenter API...

i hope this better explains my requirement
thanks
Eli
