Best practices for plugin integrations
Follow the best practices below to effectively use plugin integrations:
- While installing out-of-the-box plugins, follow the additional prerequisites steps in the GitHub repository README for seamless configuration.
- Configure the .cfg file to simplify monitoring multiple instances of an application or service in a single plugin script, saving time and effort.
- Efficiently manage and resolve installation errors with the Help Assistant in the Plugins section where you can view installation error messages, the possible reasons for the errors, and easily re-register the plugin.
- Monitor various tech stacks, like the LAMP stack, by creating custom dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets that display metrics from different plugins and servers.
- While editing a plugin script, do not delete the mandatory fields in the script.
