Hi,

is there a possibility to receive an alert when a directory in CentOS 7 is empty or not available?

you can use this command in a bash script :

find /* -type d -empty

will list all empty files

Sorry, I didn't express myself well.

I'm looking for a solution that if a special directory is empty or not available, I want to receive a trigger. I would like to work without scripts, if possible.

then read this ref :

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/appendix/items/supported_by_platform

search for vfs or system.run
to make your trigger from them

I tried to find a solution, but somehow it didn't work. The file was not available and nevertheless I didn't receive a tigger alert.

Item:

vfs.file.exists[/directory/filename]

Trigger:

{Template FileCheck:vfs.file.exists[/directory/filename].str()}=0

Is there something missing in the trigger expression?

you can check your triggers before using zabbix_get
to see if it works

And how? Sorry for this question, but I am not experienced in this area.

How to monitor whole directory ?
Does anyone know?

You execute zabbix_get on the server or proxy that monitor your host, just check the documentation, is pretty sel explanatory:
zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 10050 -k "vfs.file.exists[/directory/filename]"

127.0.0.1 is of course the IP of the host you want to check (that must have a running agent of course).
