File count directory Windows

[raphael.lage]

Good Morning. I found some topics talking about it, but even following correctly did not work for me. I have a server and inside it G: \ foldername. In this folder I need to count the amount of files inside, how could I do that? Zabbix Version: 3.4.9

Thank you for your help. In my version of zabbix, I was able to create a power shell script and collect the amount of files in a folder.

splitek hey,

Is it possible to define the script and user parameter from frontend or do I have to make changes directly on the host somehow?

If you use zabbix before version 4.0, just create a power shell scritp, add UserParameter in .conf and create an item in zabbix. I did it that way and it's working perfectly. If you want to do it this way, I can pass you the script parameters.

raphael.lage Thanks, I'm on 4.2. Actually, I'm not interested in vfs.dir.count but about custom scripting in zabbix. That's another topic, anyway, let me explain.

I want to create custom items from windows performance monitors (perf_counter["counterid"]). (Link attached.) To do that I need to discover physical disks in a host and I have like 350+ hosts from different domains.

Do I have to place the script in those hosts and edit the agent.conf file on hosts or is there a better way?

Also, I would really like see your script and item configuration just to learn more about this stuff.

In my environment, to monitor avg disk read / write I use a template called Template OS File Server Windows and the key perf_counter [\ 234 (_Total) \ 1404].

I saw that in your topic someone mentioned this key and you said that was not what you wanted, could give more details of what your need?

The powershell script: Get-ChildItem c: \ yourfolder | Measure-Object | % {$ _. Count} switch ($ ITEM) { "FileCountResult" { $ count = Get-ChildItem c: \ your folder | Measure-Object | % {$ _. Count} Write-Output ($ count.FileCountResult) }}

Note: If you want to count sub directories, add the parameter -Recurse

Note2: If you want to filter a certain file type, add the parameter -Include * .exe

Parameter added within .conf: UserParameter = FilesCount[*], powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "script path" "$ 1"

Thanks for the tips,

_Total doesn't return values for all existing disks. It probably returns sum of them. I want to collect data for all separate disks. Avg Sec/Write and Avg/Sec Read for all disks and some servers has only C while many has C and D, some has E F G. So, it should be done in a flexible, dynamic way.

I am using zabbix agent 3.2.4 and need to create a power shell script, add UserParameter in .conf and create an item in zabbix. If anyone can provide the code/example. I need to do a file count on the following Windows folders and trigger if count is more than 50:
C:\inetpub\mailroot\Badmail
C:\inetpub\mailroot\Drop
C:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup
C:\inetpub\mailroot\Queue

Many thnaks
