vfs.file.exists - Current Date

[syntax1127]

Hi,
I need to make a trigger on Zabbix that will send an Email when a specific file in specific folder with the current day exists or not.
So I tried the command :
Zabbix-get -s x.x.x.x(remote machine ip ) -k "vfs.file.exists[c:\tmp\14-11-25.zip]
This return 1 which means the file exists and it's OK.
However, this is not good enough because I need to check it daily.
Meaning I need to check whether file have been received everyday.
In other words, I need to make sure that a zip file with the current date has arrived to specific folder. Moreover the format of the file is yy-mm-dd.zip and cannot be changed.
Any idea how to accomplish that?
Thanks in advance

Hi all!

I found a workaround:
create simple bash script in 'externalscripts' directory on your server like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# filename format example 192.168.49.9_2016-05-01.cfg

ip=$1
date=`date +%F`
filename='/tftp/'$ip'_'$date'.cfg'

# echo $ip
# echo $date
# echo $filename


if [ -e $filename ]; then
 echo 1
else
 echo 0
fi

My files are located exactly on the same server, but you can modify it.

Then create item with external check and key ip-date["{HOST.CONN}"] - it will pass Host's IP address to the script as first argument. After it create trigger depending on your needs.

is no any new way to insert date in vfs.file.exists ?
Upd:
pre-solving problem - using "UserParameter" feature: in agent config add

UserParameter=test[*],if exist c:\$1%date%.txt (echo 0) else echo 1

and item key is:

test[backup_file_name]

and triggers for "missing backup" is:

{my_host:test[backup_file_name].last(#1)}=1
