## What's this?
This guide will show you how to create a new _System Info Collector_ for the Infection Monkey. _System Info Collectors_ are modules which each Monkey runs, that collect specific information and sends it back to the Island as part of the System Info Telemetry.
### Do I need a new System Info Controller?
If all you want is to execute a shell command, then there's no need to add a new collector - just configure the required commands in the Monkey Island configuration in the PBA section! Also, if there is a relevant collector and you only need to add more information to it, expand the existing one. Otherwise, you must add a new Collector.
## How to add a new System Info Collector
### Monkey side
#### Framework
1. Create your new collector in the following directory: `monkey/infection_monkey/system_info/collectors` by first creating a new file with the name of your collector.
2. In that file, create a class that inherits from the `SystemInfoCollector` class:
```py
from infection_monkey.system_info.system_info_collector import SystemInfoCollector
class MyNewCollector(SystemInfoCollector):
```
3. Set the Collector name in the C'tor, like so:
```py
class MyNewCollector(SystemInfoCollector):
def __init__(self):
super(MyNewCollector, self).__init__(name="MyNewCollector")
```
#### Implementation
Override the `collect` method with your own implementation. See the `EnvironmentCollector.py` Collector for reference. You can log during collection as well.
#### Configuration
Add the new collector to `infection_monkey/config.py`
### Island side
#### Configuration
##### `definitions`
You'll need to add your Collector to the `config_schema.py` file, under `definitions/system_info_collectors_classes/anyOf`, like so:
```json
"system_info_collectors_classes": {
"title": "System Information Collectors",
"type": "string",
"anyOf": [
{
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"EnvironmentCollector"
],
"title": "Which Environment this machine is on (on prem/cloud)",
"attack_techniques": []
},
{ <=================================
"type": "string", <=================================
"enum": [ <=================================
"MyNewCollector" <=================================
], <=================================
"title": "My new title", <=================================
"attack_techniques": [] <=================================
},
],
},
```
##### `properties`
Also, you can add the Collector to be used by default by adding it to the `default` key under `properties/monkey/system_info/system_info_collectors_classes`:
```json
"system_info_collectors_classes": {
"title": "System info collectors",
"type": "array",
"uniqueItems": True,
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/system_info_collectors_classes"
},
"default": [
"EnvironmentCollector",
"MyNewCollector" <=================================
],
"description": "Determines which system information collectors will collect information."
},
```
#### Telemetry processing
1. Add a process function under `monkey_island/cc/telemetry/processing/system_info_collectors/{DATA_NAME_HERE}.py`. The function should parse the collector's result. See `processing/system_info_collectors/environment.py` for example.
2. Add that function to the dispatcher - `monkey_island/cc/services/telemetry/processing/system_info_collectors/system_info_telemetry_dispatcher.py`.
