Zabbix and File monitoring

[zawada455]

Hello Zabbix Administrators,

I searched many guides and I don't have any solutions for my problem.

I generate txt or HTML and I do upload to ftp. and my Zabbix must search string in this file.

Hi zawada455,


In zabbix to find a string in a file you can use
"vfs.file.regmatch[file,regexp,<encoding>,<start line>,<end line>]"

with Zabbix agent (Active) type. This will return the values 0 (No) or 1 (yes)

You can find more information in the below urls:
