Return file count

[RebeccaIlene]

Hi Team,

We are using CheckFile2 to find the names of the files in a path on a server written less than an hour ago.

However, we are looking to modify the service to return the total file count in the path.

Can you please let me know how this can be modified?

The current command is as below:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -2 -H hostname -p 5666 -c CheckFile2 -a truncate=900 "path=D:\Program Files (x86)\Send" "pattern=*.mml" max-dir-depth=0 MaxWarn=20 MaxCrit=40 filter+written=lt:60m

If you're running a version of NSClient++ that uses CheckFile2 it may not support changing the output, I tested with NSClient++ 3.9 and adding any form of "syntax=blah" doesn't work. You may need to upgrade your nsclient to the latest then it should be able to be modified.

When I check the NRPE version I get this output.

I (0.3.8.76 2010-05-27) seem to be doing fine...

Does that mean the version we are using is 0.3?

Where can I get the latest version of NRPE?

That means you're running an old version of NSClient++, you can find the latest here:

I (0.3.8.76 2010-05-27) seem to be doing fine...

Correct, you're running NSClient++ version 0.3.8.76 (0.5.2.35 is the latest).
