Log file monitoring trigger

[thenameskam]

Looking to see if anyone has done it or has an understand or idea on how to accomplish this.

Currently we have logs that come in from somewhere else, the idea is to have an alert get triggered if that log file stops growing (receiving logs) is there any of the expressions to accomplish this? i looked through the list on Zabbix's agent overview but i did not see anything that would allow me to trigger once a log file stops growing.

instead of using log/logrt, try vfs.file.size[file] or vfs.file.time[file,modify], then set up an trigger like 5m.
