CheckFile provide OK when file does not exist

[eric@…]

We have a directory where we have to make sure files do not grow larger than 7K. Their is a process that constantly picks up files and processes them and an indicator that their is an issue with process is when the file is larger than 7K and has no been picked up.

Feature needed is that sometimes the file does not exist yet. Can we make this check say it is OK if file does not exist or is less than a certain size if it does exist.

I think the existing Checkfile should do it already.

CheckFile MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=5 file=c:\temp\*.* filter-size=>7k

But CheckFile shows Warning if no files found. I think, it's a bug?

This can be done with CheckFile2 like so:

• d:\tmp has a file with 25 bytes
• d:\empty has no files

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.txt filter+size=gt:20 "syntax=%filename%: %size%" MaxWarn=1
WARNING:test.txt: 26B, found files: 1 > warning|'found files'=1;0;0;

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp\empty pattern=*.tx filter+size=gt:20 "syntax=%filename%: %size%" MaxWarn=1
OK:CheckFile ok|'found files'=0;0;0;

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.txt filter+size=gt:30 "syntax=%filename%: %size%" MaxWarn=1
OK:CheckFile ok|'found files'=0;0;0;

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp\empty pattern=*.tx filter+size=gt:30 "syntax=%filename%: %size%" MaxWarn=1
OK:CheckFile ok|'found files'=0;0;0;
