[v5.0] - Discovery Rule and Item Prototype to find and list folder sizes (Windows)

[ZabTheo]

Zabbix version 5.0

Hello,

I am trying to create a discovery rule to find folders and list their size.

This is what I have setup already but it isn't working

1. I have a powershell script to list all the folders and display it in JSON format:

WRITE-HOST "{"
WRITE-HOST "`"data`":["
$items = Get-ChildItem D:\Shares\OSTs\
$count = 0
ForEach ($item in $items) {
    $n = $item.FullName -replace('\\','/')
    WRITE-HOST  "`{ `"`{`#FOLDERNAME`}`":`"$n`"`}"
    $count++
    if ($count -lt $items.Count) {
        WRITE-HOST ","
    }
}
WRITE-HOST "]"
WRITE-HOST "}"​

2. I have added a UserParameter to run the powershell script

UserParameter=folder.discovery,powershell -File "C:\zabbix\scripts\FolderSize.ps1"

3. I have verified the script runs using:

zabbix_get -s SERVERNAME -k folder.discovery

I get the following output format:

{
"data":[
{ "{#FOLDERNAME}":"D:/Shares/OSTs/USERA"}
,
{ "{#FOLDERNAME}":"D:/Shares/OSTs/USERB"}
.....
]
}
​

4. This is what I have applied in Zabbix but I am getting no data. The server being monitored is showing no errors in the log file.







Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

"D:/Shares/OSTs/USERB"
Shoudln't here be \-s instead? Or has windows learned to use /-s also? :P

if you run zabbix_get and vfs.dir.size[an of your directories] ? getting any info?

Thanks so much for your reply, it makes complete sense, however it started working after I posted this thread. No idea why.. I just need to be more patient!
