Count number files into a windows directory

[Josh]

I am almost positive it doesnt, I just ran the script with an output to a text file and it was just the number with no extra lines, tabs or spaces.

Just try setting the type...

[Josh]

I changed it to character and it did in fact log the unable to set job info: [0x00000057] error message

EDIT: I just retested this on a win 2008 server and it works perfect on those, not sure whats happening :/

Te agent is tripping over the Vbs for some reason. You could try to increase the logging verbosity on the agent and retest, maybe the logging will give you more insights.

what happens if you run the FileCount.vbs from the command prompt?
What value does it return?

[Josh]

It outputs the number of files. I even ran it in CMD with the output being sent to a text file and all that was sent was the number, no extra characters or anything so I know if it giving a value supported by Zabbix.

[Josh]

Ok, decided to go a different route. I am now running the VBscript as a scheduled task on the machine which outputs the results to a text file on another machine which zabbix then reads and looks to see if the last value is greater than X number of files. The only issue I have is this only looks at the root of the file and nothing in subfolders. Anyone have a quick solution to make the script look in subfolders?

EDIT: Wrote a script to find the file count of each folder and subfolder which wrote to a log file if too many files were found, then made a log file monitor in zabbix to watch that file for new entries. Not sure why this 2000 server was being so picky but found a way around it.

I have simular errors (unable to set job info: [0x00000057] The parameter is incorrect.) after upgrading agents from 1.8.5 to 1.8.8/1.8.9 or 1.8.10.

simply replacing zabbix_agentd.exe with the newer version gives me these errors on Windows 2000 machines. I reverted them back to 1.8.5 and all is OK again.

On W2K3 and W2K8 => no problems. I run 1.8.10 on them without issues.

What changed after 1.8.5 (or possibly 1.8.6/1.8.7, I did not test those versions)?

HI,

I did the same thing as Zaniwoop , and it seems not working.
When i execute the script with paramaters //nologo $1 (cmd).
I've go an error at lign 5 caract 1.
Can you help me please.

Thanks.

It seems like a W2k issue in the agent, same problem here. It returns the same error on any external execution, for every UserParameter, even running a simple system.run["dir"] on a zabbix_get from the server.

Using agent version 1.8.10

[jcvalencia]

Works ok in 1.8.5, any clue? Please some zabbix dev could figure it out and fix this?

An easy solution for windows envs should be:

system.run[dir /A-d "C:\failed\logs\" | find /c "/"]

And trigger like:
{hostname:system.run[dir /A-d "C:\failed\logs\" | find /c "/"].str("File Not Found")}=0
