File discovery based on a pattern

[markfree]

I need to monitor some files that are dynamically generated everyday.
They all have a dynamic timestamp prefix and a constant suffix.
Something like this:
20220709101112_file_name.txt

With that, I can write a simple script to find and list all the new files.
I could use Zabbix Agent key vfs.file.get to collect the file data, but that key can only check for a single file.
I was wondering if there is a kind of vfs.file.discovery key that uses a pattern to find files.

Is there a key to find files based on regular expressions?
Does anyone else needs something like that?

Hi!
You can try to use features User parameters on the agent side together with some Powershell script.

vfs.dir.get, agent 6.*

Great! I'll check how deep I can go with this key. Thanks.

Any traction on this? I have this exact requirement, hoping to get time to work on this task after some higher priority project work.

we use discovery:
system.run[find /data/logs/logname_* -maxdepth 0 -type f]


Javascript preprocessing:
var lld = [];
var lines = value.split("\n");
var lines_num = lines.length;
for (i = 0; i < lines_num; i++)
{
var row = {};
row["{#FILE}"] = lines[i]
lld.push(row);
}
return JSON.stringify(lld);



And finall item prototype:
Name: Duration of {#FILE}
Key: logrt[{#FILE}]

system.run should be enabled on agent.
