    Try the archive package: codewizard to generate a first example in the language you select

    If you deploy the codewizard, it creates codewizard.exe in \Nimsoft\sdk\bin (Windows only)
    Execute this exe and you will have several options:
    gui from codewizard

    In communities there exist a very useful doc on creating a custom probe (specially the steps needed to create the archive package), but I cannot find it for the moment..

    Do also note that the logmon probe can run a command and parse the output of that command. As such it is almost never necessary to go down the path of creating a custom probe unless you have some very specific requirements. As it stands today, probably 75% of the probes offered by CA?Broadcom could have been implemented in logmon though maybe not as elegantly. CDM for instance mostly makes calls to the OS using the same facilities that are available to scripting languages available at the OS command level - You could implement most of the 'D' part of  CDM by scraping the output of "df -k" for instance.
