How to Create a Metric Plugin?

Overview

In Motadata AIOps, you have the flexibility to define custom metrics tailored to your specific monitoring needs. This is particularly useful when you need to monitor parameters that are not covered by the standard in-built plugins provided by the system. For example, imagine you have a homegrown application running on a monitor, and you need to retrieve a custom metric, such as the temperature of a motherboard. By creating a metric plugin and scripting using the appropriate protocol, you can establish a connection to the monitor and retrieve the desired metrics, enabling you to monitor them effectively within Motadata AIOps.
