How to use dir_size plugin?

[PeloLegendaire]

Hello,

I recently installed Checkmk for my company and I need to monitor the storage of some directories.
I searched and found the dir_size plugin (check_mk_extensions/dir_size at cmk2.1 · HeinleinSupport/check_mk_extensions · GitHub), and I installed it with mkp command on my Checkmk site.
I added a configuration file in /etc/check_mk/ to specify which directory to monitor but it doesn’t appear as a new service in the web interface.

I think that I am missing something, can someone helps me to figure what ?

Thanks,
Louis.

Hi.
Have you checked the Doku for size & age Monitoring files (checkmk.com)?
Best regards

Thank you for your reply,
I’ve already checked this documentation, but I think that it doesn’t fit to my needs : mk_filestats allows you to monitor number of file in a directory, most/least important file but not the size of the directory itself.

Ok I think my problem is solved, I looked to other problems on this forum and I realized that I need to copy the ~./local/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/dir_size in the /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/ directory to make it work.
I knew that I missed something…
