    Trying to create a Trigger to monitor file age

    Hi there,
    I'm a total noob to Zabbix and this is my first assignment... I need to build a monitor using Zabbix and monitor how long one script runs. The script looks like that:

    Code:
    device0="/home/build/aggregator/scripts/aggregator.lock"
    if [ -e "$device0" ]
    then
    echo process is already running
    else
    
    touch $device0
    java -Xms6g  -Xmx6g -jar /home/build/aggregator/aggregator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
    rm $device0
    fi
    The script creates a file called aggregator.lock which makes sure the script runs only once, the script is configured in Crontab to run every minute. I've created the next Items:


    While the aggregator.lock file exists, Zabbix vfs.file.exists returns: 1.
    Code:
    [root@zabbix ~]# zabbix_get -s 10.200.X.X -k vfs.file.exists[/home/build/aggregator/scripts/aggregator.lock]
    1
    [root@zabbix ~]#
    And vfs.file.time check returns: 1400057821 (Unix time).

    While the aggregator.lock file doesn't exist, Zabbix returns: 0.
    And vfs.file.time check returns: ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED .

    The check runs every 30 secs in order to minimize traffic in the network but the script runs for about 10-20 (Minimum) and 4 minutes (in the Maximum). So I need to find the best way to monitor the run time of the script, what would be the best way to achieve this aim?
Working...
