+# agent-local
+
+This repository contains a set of Unix agent scripts designed for monitoring Linux Debian servers with Observium.
+The typical location for these scripts on the server to be monitored is `/usr/lib/observium_agent/local`.
+Please note that installing the scripts alone isn't sufficient. Refer to [Observium's documentation](https://docs.observium.org/unix_agent/) for
+guidance on how to use them.
+
+## Script installation
+
+Use the provided `install.sh` to directly install from this repository without cloning it.
+
+## dpgk
+
+This local agent script supplies package information to Observium. This information is cached for up to 30 minutes
+to enhance the efficiency of the poller. No alterations have been applied.
+
+## ioping
+
+The local agent implementation of Observium's `ioping` local agent script was no longer functional as of Debian Bookworm.
+This revised implementation addresses the issue and introduces the capability to `ioping` multiple drives simultaneously.
+However, it's important to note that ioping remains relatively slow even when executed in parallel.
+Customize the `ioping.conf` file based on your requirements.
+
+## smarttemp
+
+This local agent script serves as a replacement for `hddtemp` since it has been abandoned and is no longer available as of Debian Bookworm.
+It utilizes a combination of smartmontools' `smartctl` and `jq` to determine the temperature of all hard drives and
+mimicks the output of the `hddtemp` local agent script.
