NSClient++ Help (#1) - Checkfile subfolders and creationfilter (#841) - Message List

The keywords are:

• filename, type_string
• name, type_string
• version, type_string
• path, type_string
• line_count, type_int
• size, type_size
• access, type_date
• creation, type_date
• written, type_date

Yes, but: " Order

Order is somewhat important but mainly in the fact that some operations are more costly then others. For instance line_count requires us to read and count the lines in each file so choosing between the following:

filter=create < -2d and line_count > 100

filter=line_count > 100 and create < -2d "

Secondly filter="written lt"-25d should most likely be filter="written lt -25d" but maybe that is a typo?

It seems to work with both. The problem: if i use "written lt -25d" i cant say written lt $ARG2$" as command. This will run into an syntax error.

Thridly: filter="written lt -25d" means files older then 25 days? what you want is filter="written gt -25d" read as "written (is greater then) (25 days ago)" (greater meaning after)

i want the following: As long as the file is not older than 25d nagios should report "OK" if i say "written gt -25d" a file that changed just a minute ago is critical. If i use "creation" on a file that is created 20mins ago. i get critical if i say "creation gt -2500d" or ="creation gt -1m" If i use written on the same file i get crit on -2500d and ok on -1m

So i think something is wrong with creation.

the problem with recursive folders is gone. I recreated the checkcommand in nagios from scratch. now it works.

greets and thank you for your fast answer.
