Monitor DAT file

[KristofL]

Hi there,

To monitor Symantec Endpoint Protection, i'm wanting to extract the date value of the definfo.dat file.

The file has the following contents:

[DefDates]
CurDefs=20140221.009

I want the output to be 20140221

and my item (Zabbix Active) is defined like this

vfs.file.regexp["C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\definfo.dat","^([0-9]){8}$",,0,3,\1]

But that doesn't seem to work (I don't really have much experience with regular expressions)

Can someone help me to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance all,
Br,

Kristof

Try with vfs.file.regexp["C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\definfo.dat","([0-9]{8})",,,,\1]
