Can Zabbix monitor the contents of a folder that has changed?

Can Zabbix monitor the contents of a folder that has changed?

If so, could I capture as a registered value the specific file that was modified?

For example, in /etc, rc.system (even if it is within a subdirectory, rc.d) has been changed. The trigger informs me that this file has been changed.

Remembering that I do not want to specify the right file. I want Zabbix to let me know what it is.

If this is not possible, can I at least see if the content has changed but without the specific file record? Just the alert that the content has changed?

Are the following:

vfs.dir.size - directory size in bytes
vfs.dir.count - number of files in directory (recursive)

items suitable for your needs?

Capturing what changed isn't possible out-of-the box. What you could do is create trapper item e. g. rc.system.changes of value type text and use inotify, e. g. inotifywait utility from inotify-tools package:

inotifywait --monitor --timefmt '%F %T' --format '[%T] [%w%f] %e' -r -e delete,create /etc

and then send each entry using Zabbix sender to the server for that item. And then trigger an alert on receiving any value.

I really liked to notify. I confess that you do not know this tool. I will make the suggestion to my boss. Thanks for the help!
