Hi Frank,
nice documentation.
But i do not get any messages.
I tried “Maximal age of newest file” with a warning older than 1 mins but it still shows “ok” with “age_newest is 19 hours”.
Then I tried “Maximal file count” warning and critical above 0 but it stills shows “ok” with “count is 48”.
In the check_mk.ini I set "path = E:\prod*.* and my file group pattern is “E:\prod*”
Any ideas about that?
Best Regards.
Nils

Hi Jam,
That’s what I 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 Regards Nils
