vfs.file.regmatch wildcard / multiple files

[Ulewu]

Hello there...

i like to know if it is possible do create a item with the
vfs.file.regmatch key to check all files in an given directory for the expression.

i think of something like:
vfs.file.regmatch[c:\logfiles\login*.log,error]

if i do so i get an not supportet message from zabbix.
if i put a full filename in (c:\logfiles\login-username.log) as example it works.

thanks for any advise

it seems it is not possible to use regular expressions in the filename.

  8460:20110817:094719.666 Active check [vfs.file.regmatch["d:\nvt\log\patrol_*.log",".*"]] is not supported. Disabled.

Perhaps it is possible in newer versions than 1.8.5?

For me, I'm using global Macros for example {$DATE_YEAR}. Then I have write a little PHP Script which runs as a cronjob.

In this script I update the values from Global Macros so I can use these macros in the filename of the "vfs.file"-Key in the item.

Thank You hirschnf !
Your script globalmacro_mod.php saved me.
