pass folder path to zabbix windows agent

[orionweb]

I'm creating a UserParameter item to cont the number of files in a folder. I need to then pass this item the folder path where to count the file. However I'm not able to do this as what I'm passing appears to be cut off.

Example:

UserParameter=file.countfiles_by_extention[*],dir /b $1\*.$2 | find /c /v "~~~"

I then config in the item:

file.countfiles_by_extention[C:/Applications/images,jpg,150KB]

I test using zabbix_get and got the below error:

Parameter format not correct - "pplications".

It appears that the forward slashes are causing issue so the zabbix agent cannot get the full data I'm passing.

What I am I doing wrong?

You should use double slashes "C://Application//images" as a symbol after single slash is translated as special symbol.

Thank you, that worked

In case it may be useful to others

My zabbix config file looks like

UserParameter=file.count_by_extention[*],powershell.exe -Command "@(get-ChildItem -path "$1\*.$2" -recurse -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue").count"
UserParameter=file.count_by_extention_and_size_greater_than[*],powershell.exe -Command "@(get-ChildItem -path "$1\*.$2" -recurse -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue" | where-Object {$_.Length -gt $3}).count"

The items looks like

file.count_by_extention[D://Applications//images,jpg]
file.count_by_extention_and_size_greater_than[D://Applications//images,jpg,250KB]

The item will return number of files found or 0 if none found
