plugin to monitor number of files in a directory

[infrati.fornecedores]

Hello

I would like to monitor the amount of files in a directory from a Windows server.

Found that at the site of Nagios that there are some plugins that make this function, for example:

directory_file_count

check_winfile-1.5

count_file.pl

check_file_count

Could you help me what I have to configures the Nagios server and Windows server to do this monitoring?

Example:

I need to monitor the directory c: \ temp if you have more than 50 files send an e-mail with a warning, and if you are over 70 files forward an e-mail to critical.

thank you

Hello,

First we will want to configure NSClient++ with windows, have you done this already?

Please take a look at the following documentation for a guide on how to do this:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/doc/installation

I would suggest using the most lightweight of the check_file checks as it is a pretty simple check, it all depends on what you would like to do beyond getting the standard count.

hello,

The client already installed on Windows servers I want to monitor.

Now to use the plugin suggested check_file what I have to do in the Nagios server and Windows?

Not yet installed any plugin in Nagios so I have some doubts that how to configure it to work.

Example:

The plugin on the Nagios server must fiicar in which directory? / usr / local / nagios / libexec this path is correct?

After adding the plugin in any server I edit file information with this new plugin?

And the Windows client is some configuration needed?

thanks

You will need to add the plugin to the scripts folder within the NSClient++ directory on your windows system, then we must define it in the nsclient/NSC.ini file as an external script, and create an alias for it to be called from the nagios xi server. These steps are outlined below:

In the scripts section of the following documentation an example is outlined for adding the external script's definition to NSClient++'s configuration file:

For version 0.4.x please view this version:

Let us know if you need help in between these steps or afterwords.

hello,

Thanks for the information, now I need an aid in relation to check_file.vbs

He is returning this error:

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_files.vbs(132, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Class not defined: 'NagiosPlugin'

Hello infrati.fornecedores,

Can you provide us with a link to the specific plugin you are using so that we can give it a test run as well?

Hello,

This is the vbs script to install mode dretorio the Nagios client.

C: \ Program Files \ NSClient + + \ scripts \ check_files.vbs

You should have the following line in the NSC.ini (or nsclient.ini) file on the windows box:

Code: Select all

[Wrapped Scripts]
check_files=check_files.vbs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$ $ARG11$ $ARG12$ $ARG13$ $ARG14$

or could be under [/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts] in the newer versions of nsclient++

Then you can call the "check_files" command from nagios via check_nrpe, for example you can run something like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_files -a '/path:"c:\\tmp" /searchdepth:1 /warning:10 /critical:20'
OK: Testing c://tmp  newer than 5 d : 0 w:10 c: 20|count=0;10;20

I would recommend opening the check_files.vbs in a text editor, and reading the comments. There are some usage examples in it.

hello, lmiltchev.

The settings that are in the comments of the file check_files already done.

When I run this command

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_files -a '/path:"c:\\tmp" /searchdepth:1 /warning:10 /critical:20'


message is presented below:

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_files.vbs(132, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Class not defined: 'NagiosPlugin'

he says that the class "Nagios Plugin" was not defined, it is possible to send you the file that you used in the test?

thank you
