Thanks in advanced,

Let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks for the help @mcapra!

amitw, Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks.
i already implemented it.

The second phase is more complicated and i will need to ask your help again

I would like to monitor few folders size every 2-3 seconds.
Is it doable?
How can i implement that kind of configuration?

And another thing.
It looks like prefdata is not being generated.
How can i fix it?

Thanks in advanced,
Amit

Nagios Core isn't very good at handling checks that need to run more frequently than once every minute or more.

You could explore submitting the results of this check passively. Here's some docs for that:

Performance data needs to be submit to Nagios Core in a specific way as detailed in the Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines:
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200

This plugin does not seem to provide performance data and would need to be modified to do so.

@amitw let us know if you have any further questions after taking a look at some of the resources @mcapra suggested.

Thanks guys.
You can close the ticket

Glad to be of help
