File Age Trigger

[Tractorboy]

I would like a trigger to fire if file monitored file is >24hrs old.

I am using vfs.file.time but how do I convert that into hours old?

Is it also possible to graph on file age?

vfs.file.time returns number of seconds from begin of Unix era I think it's 1.1.1970. If you do something like this:

{host:vfs.file.time[/file].now(0)}-{host:vfs.file.time[/file].last(0)}>86400

You get alarm when files is older than one day

Timestamp value will be shown hummanly when item unit will be set on "s".

Just tried to use s and the result for a file created today is 41y 12m. Not any better I'm afraid.

I did see unixtime, which although it not much better does at least do the data conversion

Trying it out.

Just trying this out now. One thing that is difficult is that the tool does not allow this to be created without fully typing.

Sorry if this is an old tread.
To have Zabbix convert from unixtime to human time, just set the item "Units" to "unixtime". Then Zabbix will convert to years, days, hours etc. as needed.

Thanks Morten, that runs ok.

Who knows how to trigger if the file is not accessed twice a day? at different working hours?

Thanks!
