Alert if any files in folder is older than 1hr

[thebossbaby]

I have a folder, in Windows, which holds files that are to be processed. Once they are processed, they are then moved to another directory.

I'm currently trying to figure out a way to monitor for files inside this directory and alert if there are any files that are older than 1hr. i.e. They have not been processed yet.

In Zabbix, you can use vfs.file.time item but this only monitors 1 file and you have to specify the name of the file as well. The names inside the folder I'm monitoring are irrelevant.

What would be the cleanest way to achieve this?

Any ideas anyone?

there is no "out of the box" solution. For this specific need you have to write your own script. (for windows powershell script can be handy)

My solution for such tasks is SMB-share on windows, and mount it on zabbix-server, after that just use vfs.dir.count[{$MOUNT_DIR},,,,,,,,1h] - I think is better than you batch or ps

As AvaTTaR indicates
Try this item vfs.dir.count [dir ,,, file ,, 0 ,,, 1h,]

For example, to monitor the C:\temp directory

vfs.dir.count ["C:\temp" ,,, file ,, 0 ,,, 1h,]

You can see the configuration of the item in

Hm.. I have missed that agent has the same item for directory count..

Thanks Sancho and AvaTTaR, you guys are legends! This is exactly what I was after.
