How can I graph data from an external source

First post, new to Zenoss.

I use vmware, and for disaster recovery, we use Zerto.  Zerto tracks multiple stats, but the main one of interest, is RPO value

I have a CURL command that I can execute to get the data, but in 6.3.2 core, I'm not seeing how I can run a curl command, and parse the output.

Should I try to run Windows Shell, I'm able to say if RTO is between values, exit with 0, and the check is green, but I really want the value of RPO graphed

I'm hoping to get similar monitoring results with office365  (what services are up), and Azure.

Where do I even start with this?

Hi Richard

You can write a scritp including your curl command and then format the value to a string where zenoss has a parser for. I mostly use the nagios parser. Then use the command template to run your script.

This video could help you.

Cheers

This is definitely a start, Thank you.

Script + COMMAND is my starting point.   Now to convert what I have running in powershell into Curl / Python.
