Agent Rules in Bakery separated according to the operating system
Currently in Agent rules inside Agent Bakery we have a section called "Agent Plugins" this section contains rules for Windows and Linux Operating Systems but right below we have categories for Linux and Windows Agent. From my perspective the agent plugins that only work on linux should be moved to Linux Agent section and the same applied to Windows. Plugins that work in both operating systems could be kept as it is or available in both sections (Linux and Windows Agent)

Mohamed Saleh AdminHi Paulo,
Thank you for posting on our Ideas Portal!
We understand the suggestion is about separating the agent plugins into different sections based on us. Could you provide some insight into the challenge you are facing the current segmentation of rules?
hint: The current way the rules are organised is grouping of plugins, and then grouping of agent options for each of the Linux and Windows agent respectively. That way the plugins (each marked with the related OS in their title) are contained in one section, while rules for configuring the agent itself are separated.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Warm regards,
Your Checkmk Team -

Paulo SantanaHi Team,
When looking for new rules I always need to use CTRL+F because they are not properly grouped. Take the following example:
Agent rules > Agent Plugins
- Hyper-V VMs (Windows)
Agent rules > Windows Agent
- OpenHardwareMonitor (Windows)...
Maybe it could be:
Agent rules > Windows Agent
- OpenHardwareMonitor
- Hyper-V VMs
Or even:
Windows
- OpenHardwareMonitor
- Hyper-V VMs
This would simplify the page and increase the usability of the tool.
