Monitoring folder size

[Ivan Madzharov]

Hi Zabbix fans,

Could you help me with advice How to monitoring folder size with Zabbix.
The Zabbix agents with zabbix_agentd.win.conf file is located on Windows 2012 Server on partition C:\

The folder that I need to monitor is located on
Partition G:\

Path to the folder is G:\TheFolder

The size of this folder changes(increase) every day.
I use scheduled tasks and BAT script to move every night content(files) to this folder (G:\TheFolder).

This folder increase it size every night - this is normal

I would like to use trigger and monitoring with Zabbix
- The folder size or the Status of the Scheduled Task that move every night content(files) to this folder (G:\TheFolder).

Please try create vbscript and use UserParameter.

ex. foldersize.vbs

Set objFSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo objFSO.GetFolder("G:\TheFolder").Size

Testing on command prompt

cscript //Nologo c:\tools\foldersize.vbs

Thank Atsushi,

I created the foldersize.vbs and the script is works properly and gives me foldersize

Then I opened the zabbix_aggents.win.conf the configuration fail of the Zabbix and added

UserParameter=foldersize.vbs,G:\TheFolder\foldersi ze.vbs

The syntax is in this section is:
#User-defined parameter to monitor. There can be several user-defined parameters.
#Format: UserParameter=<key>,<shell command>
In my case the key is foldersize.vbs, and the shell command is G:\TheFolder\foldersize.vbs


But when I add item with Key foldersize.vbs in Zabbix system I received that this item is not supported, what is the problem?

ok i think you have somthing wrong with userparameter.. can you please post you userparamter??

at the moment it must look like:

UserParameter=folder.size, cscript //Nologo c:\tools\foldersize.vbs

restart agent
and create a new item, the item-key is folder.size

Hello Colt and thank for your repply,

My Userparameter seems like that:

UserParameter=folder.size,cscript G:\Recordings\foldersize.vbs


I would like to say that my Zabbix agent .conf is located on Windows server in C:\Zabbix, not in Linux

And also in configuration page for the Item I choose Zabbix agent. But when I choose Zabbix agent(active) instead Zabbix agent the result in the status is the same "not supported"

Waiting for your answer
Thanks in advance!

Please insert //Nologo option in UserParameter line.
