The documentation on writing a custom plugin specifies the following:

Add the command that can execute this file in /etc/opt/amonagent/plugins-enabled/custom.conf

[{ "command":"python /path/to/your-metrics.py", "name":"requests"},]

After testing my custom plugin I kept getting the issue error:

ERRO[0000] Can't decode JSON file                        error="invalid character ']' looking for beginning of value" plugin=custom 
{}

This appears to be a formatting issue on the Wiki, since formatting the command as below solves this issue:

[{ 
"command":"python /path/to/your-metrics.py", 
"name":"requests"
},]

There appears to be docs at docs.amon.cx and amon.cx/docs, with docs.amon.cx being more current. In the interest of not confusing an enduser, is there a plan to retire the older docs?

(I hope it's okay if I grab issue #1 ;-) Congrats to open sourcing Amon! Very much looking forward to it!)

The install docs aren't totally clear which user the installation should be run as. I suggest switching to the amon user right after chowning the folders.

Otherwise this command

# To test if Amon is configured properly
python manage.py runserver

will create files as root in /opt/amon and the regular systemd installation won't come up. :)
