Hi list a colleague approached me and asked me if it is possible to use checkmk for monitoring of certain files in windows-filesystems (i.e. how much files with ending .iso we have and how much space they are consuming)
Is this possible out of the box and if yes does anybody have some kind of best-practice for this?

Hi, I am not a Windows expert, but I would just write a local check (batch script), which just does what you described and put it in C:\ProgrammData\checkmk\agent\local. You can then print out each file and its size, or just the sum of the files and their total size.
You can add the status to the output according to your needs.
For more information:

The can be achieved with the fileinfo check plugin and the grouping

You have to configure the agent with paths to the files you want to
monitor. Wildcards are allowed as explained in the documentation.
