vfs.file.exists doesn't take wildcard....

[frater]

Because vfs.file.exists doesn't accept wildcards and I needed it for Windows, I wrote this little function.....

vfs.file.exists <==> vfs.files.exists

zabbix_agentd.conf

UnsafeUserParameters=1
UserParameter=vfs.files.exists[*], dir "$1" 2>null | find /c "bytes "

It should be even easier in Linux, but I actually wanted something more advanced that looked at the age of the file and all.
I already wrote something for that.

Because I needed it on Windows I made a trigger that checks all the last 30 occurences and if that wildcard was there everytime, it would give an alert

vfs.files.exists[c:\queue\*out].min(#30)>0

vfs.file.exists and wildcard

Hi,

I have also implement a custom action that can return the number of files:

zabbix_agentd.conf

UnsafeUserParameters=1
UserParameter=vfs.files.exists[*], dir "$1\*.$2" /b 2>null | find /c ".$2"

Call is made with two arguments separated by a comma:
First argument is the path
Second argument the extension

vfs.files.exists[D:\My Folder\,txt]
