The line that has the assignment to $DATAFUNCS{'registry-name'} is the key to the registry mechanism. It's what used to track the registry name to the your data module.
# Register the routine with the plugin registry $DATAFUNCS{'cpu_queue'} = \&data_cpu_queue; $CPU_QUEUE_DIR = "/var/spool/spong-queue"; # The spooling directory sub data_cpu_queue { my( $host, $service, $color, $start, $time, $sum, $message ) = @_; if ( $service ne 'cpu' ) { return; } my( $file ) = "$CPU_QUEUE_DIR/$host-" . time(); open(FH,"> $file") or die("plugin::data_cpu_queue: Could not open file $file: $!"); print FH "hostname: $host\n"; print FH "color: $color\n"; print FH "start-time: $start\n"; print FH "last-update: $time\n"; print FH "summary: $sum\n"; print FH "message:\n$message\n"; close FH; } # I'm included perl code, I need this line. 1;
Please note the final line. It is always required for a module file.
