OpenKPI Store Step-by-Step Guide
This section is intended as a step-by-step guide to get started with an OpenKPI project. The goal is to run a proof-of-concept and get an idea on the outcome without major efforts, in particular without development efforts. As last step to productize use of the OpenKPI store, though, still some kind of script/code needs to be developed to collect your custom data.
To illustrate the different steps, we use a simple example: Assume we want to monitor two metrics for each host in our landscape: CPU usage on host level and the amount of free space in each file system of the host. Note that these metrics are covered already by standard System Monitoring content. We pick it here anyway for simplicity.
