is it possible to customize out of the box agent checks?

Hello,

we have some customers that would like to change (add or remove) several checks (queries of metrics being pulled) by some out-of-the-box agents (e.g storage collertor and VMwarePerformance)

is this possible? can the information that is being provided byy those agents be modified?

(this is of course being asked after consideration of using script of custom agents to do this task)

thanks in advance,

    Hi Naushad,
    Thanks a bunch for your informative response.

    Apologies, but I might have not described it in the best way.
    I was actually referring to the ability to modify what type of data is collected once the agent is doing its job, and not what objects it collects upon;

    So for instance:

    If a customer wanted the VMwarePerformance agent to also run a specific API command that gives him additional value, to checks something that natively the agent does not collect.
    Or for instance, disable the Storage collector from trying to run a specific our of the box commands against the storage array/filer and such…

    I hope it makes better sense,
    Thanks a lot for your help!
