ADD Ignore disable status for poller on script centreon_centreon_sql_metrics.pl

[romsworld]

Hi,

Is it possible to ignore disable poller. I have 2 pollers disabled, but, script ignore if enable or disable status.

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_centreon_sql_metrics.pl --plugin=database::mysql::plugin

Thanks,

Hello :)

Could you give us more context on the commands and mode(s) you are trying to execute?

[romsworld]

Of course, error with copy paste !
See full command :

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_centreon_sql_metrics.pl --plugin=database::mysql::plugin --dyn-mode=apps::centreon::sql::mode::pollerdelay --host='192.168.' --username='' --password='' --filter-name='.*' --warning-delay='180' --critical-delay='300'

Hello :)

Indeed, this mode does not check the state of the poller, so it cannot filter on disable pollers. You can try to use the --filter-name option to indirectly exclude this pollers. And maybe we should add an option --exclude-name to exclude identified poller for user reasons. Do you think this could meet your need?

Could you try this PR #5450 to check if an exclude option is the right thing for you?

Adding an exclusion option means maintaining and modifying it.
There's no point in monitoring a deactivated poller :) In my opinion, it's much simpler to exclude all deactivated pollers.
As a rule, it's rare to have to disable them, but it can happen and should be managed at script level.
Exclusion can be useful if you know that a poller often has latency. But this is not the case here.

[lucie-dubrunfaut]

I understand, but in this case it requires a bigger improvement than adding an exclude option, because as it stands the mode doesn't retrieve the state of the pollers at all. So if you'd like to support this idea, I invite you to propose a TheWatch idea so that it can be voted on :)
Also I'll close this issue as it's more an enhancement request and not a bug report.
