Zabbix won't read a text file that only has numbers

[momovideo]

Hi everyone,
I wanted Zabbix to read a file that shows a number of counted files in a certain folder. I created a script in Windows that counts files in a folder and then writes that number in a text file. There is nothing else in that file, just a number. In Zabbix, I created an item like this

logrt["D:\Count\filecount.txt"]

Zabbix doesn't throw any error, but it also doesn't show any data. I want to mention that I have multiple log monitoring items configured and they work perfectly, but this one just won't work for me. I tried changing logrt to simply log, type of information in item configuration, and changing the file location, but no dice.

Zabbix I am running is 5.0.1. Active agent is configured and working.

vs.file.content reads the content of file, I guess

vfs.file.contents[file,<encoding>]

Retrieving contents of a file. Returns text

why not use a standard key vfs.dir.count[dir,<regex_incl>,<regex_excl>,<types_incl>,<types_ excl>,<max_depth>,<min_size>,<max_size>,<min_age>, <max_age>,<regex_excl_dir>] ?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I already use the vfs.dir.count, but when the number of files in the folder exceeds about 15K, the Zabbix stops showing any data for that item. Since it is happening often, I wanted to find another way to count files, hence the issue in my first post.

vitS, I will try that, thank you.

EDIT.

And it works just like I needed it to. Thank you both for your help.

Yes, this is a problem with vfs.dir.count or vfs.dir.size, it's easy to reach an agent timeout
