📘

Opspacks are no longer available to download from the opsview.com website. This is because newer Opspacks often rely on the most recent release of Opsview Monitor and are not backwards-compatible with earlier releases.

All Opspacks are automatically included in every release made, so in many cases you can upgrade to the latest available version of Opsview Monitor to get the update you are looking for.

In certain circumstances, if the Opspack you are looking for is not present and you are using the latest version, then it is likely that this will be available in the next major release - if you wish to check this, please raise a Support incident to verify with us via our support portal.

You can also write your own plugins - see also Active Checks.

Exporting and Importing Opspacks

You may wish to easily exchange a Host Template with another Opsview Monitor instance. This section will show you how to export an Opspack from the Host Templates page. For more information, see Host Templates - Exporting/Importing Opspacks.
