PendingUpdates.ps1

Place this script in plugins\scripts\ , add a corresponding .ini with Interval=3600 (once per hour), and SoftProber will immediately display a gauge showing pending updates. Multi-Metric Plugins A single plugin can return multiple metrics by writing to a shared memory block or returning a JSON array. Example: a MySQL plugin that returns queries per second, slow queries, and thread count in one execution. Stateful Plugins Plugins can maintain state between updates (e.g., storing last value to compute delta, or caching a session token). SoftProber provides a plugin_state folder where plugins can read/write small files without interfering with each other. Alert Correlation Plugins can raise “soft” alerts with metadata. For instance, a log file plugin detecting ERROR in a log can return: softprober plugins
