Monitor number of files in folder

[dominic]

Hello,

i will monitor the files in a folder.
If more the 5 files longer then 10 minutes exists Zabbix should send an e-mail.

I have created a external command that gives me the number of files in a folder.

ls /Temp/ | wc -l

But what trigger I have to use?

I have tried:

{Zabbix:ssh.run[TestSUN,172.16.48.20,22,].last(600)}>1
{Zabbix:ssh.run[TestSUN,172.16.48.20,22,].nodata(600)}>1

It will not work. I always get directly an e-mail if a file in the folder exists.

Can someone help me with the trigger?

Regards
Dominic

Hi,

What I did at my work, I've created a Perl script that analyses the content of an XML file and at the end, writes the data into a file and sends data to Zabbix through zabbix_sender.

I'm sure you could do your own script, executed at an interval (by cron task) to fit your needs!

Hallo,

is there no way to monitor a value for a given time without an external script like Perl?
If the value for example is 1 for 5 minutes then send a e-mail?

I think that should be a basic function of Zabbix.
Is there a way to get it in the next release of Zabbix?
