alert when file age more than 1 hour

[frankcheong]

I know I can obtain the file mtime using the function vfs.file.time with mode=change. But how can I create and email alert when a specific file has not been updated for more than 1 hour?

Wow, What I coincident that someone did ask that one year before.

And it is already on the first page. Perhaps I have overlooked. Sorry about that.

Thank you for this script. I had to modify to make it suit with UserParameter requirement. Below is my parameter in zabbix_agentd.conf. I used the flexibler user parameter concept, here the documentation - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...userparameters

UserParameter=[B]rsync[/B]fileage[*],if [ -e "$1" ]; then now=$(date +%s) && was=$(stat -c%Y $1) && elapsed=$((now - was)) && echo $elapsed; else echo 0; fi

Restart zabbix service;

$ sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent.service

and do the test and here is the result;

$ zabbix_agentd -t rsyncfileage[/var/log/messages]
rsyncfileage[/var/log/messages]               [t|42]

Once all worked, Im heading to add the item to the monitoring dashboard by following this documentation - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...xtending_agent

Update;

Now I had explored second option which using vfs.file.age, this used unixtimestamp instead of second.
Here is the documentation that I follow - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...zabbix_agent?s[]=vfs&s[]=file
