I'm specifically thinking of using it on something like:
vfs.file.size[/var/log/messages]
On most of the machines I care about, it rarely grows even as fast as 1 byte/second; growth over a minute or an hour is much more interesting.
Similarly, I can imagine for other sorts of log files using something like:
vfs.file.regexp[/var/log/otherlog,ERROR]
to get an error count per minute or hour.
Is there a way to do this in Zabbix at all? If not, can I make this a Request For Feature?
Also, relatedly, I'd like to have Zabbix allow me to store the values for a given key as both raw data as well as a delta/sec as separate items. When last I tried this (1.4.1, I think), it refused because the keys were the same.
