[Check_mk (english)] windows - check if a folder is empty

Archive checkmk-en
7

I set up a test folder on my windows workstation and it works fine
for me.
OK for 0 files, WARNING for 1 file, CRITICAL for 2 files.
If you describe exactly what you did, we might be able to spot the
problem.

documented a while ago. Feel free to send me your� comments.

Filesystem Checks

File Count

        To monitor the count of files in a directory do

the following:

Select �Parameters for discovered Services �
in �Host and Service Parameters� then �** File
Grouping Patterns� in � Storage, File system and
Files** �. Select the folder from the pull down menu at
the bottom and then select �Create Rule in Folder �.
In the pane �Value � give the Group a meaningful
unique name and file the �Include Pattern� or even �** Exclude
Pattern**� field.
Patterns with * or ? like

d:\spool*

could be used.

        Furthermore, the current time/date in a

configurable format may be included in the pattern. The
syntax is as follows: $DATE:format-spec$, where format-spec
is a list of time format directives of the unix date
command.
Example: $DATE:%Y%m%d$ is todays date, e.g. 20140127.
A pattern of /var/tmp/backups/$DATE:%Y%m%d$.txt would search
for .txt files with todays date as name in the directory
/var/tmp/backups. Select Save at the bottom of the page to
save the Group.

Select �Manual Checks� then �** Size, age
and count of file groups** � in WATO. Choose a folder
from the pull down menu at the bottom of the page and select
�Create Rule in Folder�.
In the �Parameters � pane type the former created
Groupname in the field �**File Group Name� and select the
options of the parameters.

          Hi

all,

�

          is

it possible to check if a folder is empty with check_mk?

�

          Something

like, if a folder contains one file there will be a WARN,
if it contains two files there will be a CRIT message.

          Best
