Where to Store Custom Metric Files?

[Bob_Zimmerman]

Building a custom metric for Skyline takes making a JSON file describing the metric, and some way to emit JSON data for the metric. For emitting the data, I'm using a shell script. Once I add the metric, Skyline moves my script to /var/log/CPotlpAgent/backup/scripts/.

What about the JSON description file? Do we need to keep it on the system? If so, is there a particular place we should store it?

What's the right way to roll out a new version of the metric script? Should we just overwrite the file in /var/log/CPotlpAgent/backup/scripts/, or should we remove the metric and add it again?

During my last tests i experienced that after adding the custom script, the json file is no longer required and i would definitely prefer to remove the metric and add it again once i make some modifications.
