Trigger File date

[dominoforever67]

Hi,

I would like to get some alerts for some file in a specific folder. I have 2 different folders with 1 file each with a different name.

I need to replace these files everyday. How to trigger the date file of yesterday?

I tried with this trigger but not working: last(/myserver/vfs.file.time[\\192.168.14.25\update\file1\updatecsv.csv,modify])<12h

when trying to use this one 1d:now/d it said key not valid.

Thank you.

T.

Any help? I dpn't find the good expression to get an alert if file date is from yesterday...

vfs.file.time returns time as "unix timestamp". So you cannot do just <12h. "1649056558<12h" it is a nonsense ...

you need to do some math... like now-last is more than half a day worth of seconds..

In my item, for units I use unixtime, the date and time are displayed normally

Yes, if you specify units as "unixtime", then Zabbix knows how to display it "normally". but that does not change the way, how it is stored or how you should use it in expressions.

I test with this now()-last(vfs.file.time[\\192.168.14.25\update\file1\updatecsv.csv,modify])
but not working when file is updated.
