Monitor file age naming issue

[Awad]

Hello,

I wants to monitor the age of a specific file, the file path is: D:\BI\Data\Tes - New.File.12580b5634df4be38ddba7fb58dc47c8
I was able to do this by writing the below under Zabbix WebPortal 'Key' field:
vfs.file.time["D:\BI\Data\Test - New.File.12580b5634df4be38ddba7fb58dc47c8",modify]

The problem is that part of the file name "12580b5634df4be38ddba7fb58dc47c8" keeps changing from time to time, due to this, I was thinking if there is any way to monitor the file by adding the asterisk (*) like the below;
vfs.file.time["D:\BI\Data\Test - New.File.*",modify]

This didn't work as Zabbix didn't find the file.

Please advise if there is any way to do this through Zabbix.

Thanks,

Hi,
What you could do in this situation is create a script on the server that returns the age of the file and gather the values by creating a UserParameter item in Zabbix.
You could read more about UserParameter items here - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...userparameters

Hi Awad,

Using Unixutils for windows http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

You can create a key system.run with this line dir D: BI\Data\Test-New.File.* | gawk "FNR== 6{print $1","$2}"

system.run[dir D:FBI\Data\Test-New.File.* | gawk "FNR== 6{print $1","$2"]

Or create the same with UserParameter as ArtursL says.

Depending on the result of the "dir" you may have to change the parameters.

Hello Sancho and ArtursL,

Kindly note that I am new in Zabbix, and need help on how to create the script etc.
I have downloaded both UnxUtils.zip and UnxUpdates.zip, extracted them together, but don't know what and how to do next.

Please help.

Awad,
In the last update of zabbix there is a new item that you can use vfs.dir.count
For unixutils, you have the executables in the path:
UnxUtils \ usr \ local \ wbin
You can add the route in the environment variables or execute them indicating the full route.
