How to auto discovery folders?

[Lake]

Hello,

I am new with Zabbix.
I try to monitor file flows.
I got files to date-folders.

So I try discovery my sub-folders.

path
sub-folder-1
date-folder-1
date-folder-2
sub-folder-2
date-folder-1
date-folder-2
sub-folder-3
date-folder-1
date-folder-2
...
sub-folder-20
date-folder-1
date-folder-2

My script is returning delta time.


./script.py sub-folder-1
#########################################
#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import datetime
import sys


def file_modification_date(fname):
t = os.path.getmtime(fname)
return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(t).strftime('%s')


def ReadDir(basedir):
l = 0
filetime = 0

if os.path.isdir(basedir):
ct = int(datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%s'))
filetime = file_modification_date(max([os.path.join(basedir,d) for d in os.listdir(basedir)], key=os.path.getmtime))

if len(str(ct - int(filetime))) > l:
l = str(ct - int(filetime))

return int(l)


### Main ###

path = "/data/path/"

if len(sys.argv) <> 2:
exit()

path = path + sys.argv[1]
print ReadDir(path)

You need to output JSON-format for discovered folders.

Add the following to zabbix_agentd configuration:

UserParameter=folder.discovery[*],/usr/bin/find $1 -maxdepth $2 -type d| /usr/bin/awk 'BEGIN {first=1; printf "%s","{\"data\":["} {if (first != 1) printf "%s",","; first=0; printf "{\"{#FOLDER_NAME}\":\"%s\"}",$$1} END {print "]}"}'

Use like:

folder.discovery[/data/top-folder,1]

You can monitor mtime of items then.
