Count number files into a windows directory - Items

[Ninval]

I know that a similar topic was discussed in another thread, but it does not work for zabbix 2.0.5


Are you did maybe something like monitor the number of files in a directory?
I have a situation that has a directory in Windows Server 2008, which is often changeable number of files in a directory (eg d: \ directory \ xyz \).

Tell me how to build the item to show the number of files contained in the directory, or even if such a thing is possible?

I tried to do it with the description of what is in this thread:

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20234

but it does not work on the zabbix server 2.0.5

My zabbix server is at version 2.0.5
Agent for Windows is at version 2.0.6

Send how to work on zabbix 2.0.5

Try to upgrade zabbix server to the latest version.

Try to upgrade zabbix server to the latest version.

I picked up the zabbix version 2.0.6, but it did not work.
Does not anyone have this item's which operates under zabbix 2.0.6?

Create a batch file (here you can find batch code example) on a windows server.
Use UserParameter or schedule script executing and use zabbix_sender to send results into Zabbix.

I did so, zabbix_agentd.conf added two entries to the test

UserParameter=dir_Count_Queue,DIR /A-D /B /S c:\SMTPSVC\Queue\ | FIND /C /V ""
UserParameter=dir_Count_Queue1,DIR /A-D /B /S | FIND /C /V ""

In zabbix server added 2 items

description: dir_Count_Queue
type: zabbix agent
key: dir_Count_Queue[*]
type: numeric
interval: 20

description: dir_Count_Queue1
type: zabbix agent
key: dir_Count_Queue1[c:\SMTPSVC\Queue\]
type: numeric
interval: 20

something I do not want this to work, you help?

Check your UserParameters with zabbix_get utility and correct items key in zabbix frontend (should be "dir_Count_Queue" and "dir_Count_Queue1"). Details here.
Also re-check that your command return only one number in all possible situation (for example if there no file in specified folder). Otherwise you'll get "ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED" for this item.

Success. I managed to do monitoring
On the server you are monitoring the zabbix_agentd.conf add:
UserParameter=dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Badmail,DIR /A-D /B /S K:\SMTPSVC\Badmail\ | FIND /C /V ""
UserParameter=dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Drop,DIR /A-D /B /S K:\SMTPSVC\Drop\ | FIND /C /V ""
UserParameter=dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Pickup,DIR /A-D /B /S K:\SMTPSVC\Pickup\ | FIND /C /V ""
UserParameter=dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Queue,DIR /A-D /B /S K:\SMTPSVC\Queue\ | FIND /C /V ""

On the server, add Zabbix item's:
dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Badmail
dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Drop
dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Pickup
dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Queue

Sample item:
description: GFI: Queue
type: zabbix agent
key: dir.Count.SMTPSVC.Queue
type: Numeric (float)
interval: 300
