Monitored Components
Linux-Unix Directory Size
This monitor returns the size of a specified directory in kB. This monitor allows you to get the directory size with or without subfolders, depending upon the argument.
Note: Before using this monitor, the correct arguments should be set. This monitor requires the following arguments:
perl ${SCRIPT} path_to_folder with_subdir
where
path_to_folder
This is the full path to the target folder. Regular expressions are not allowed.
with_subdir
Two options exist:
- Yes: The script will return the size of the folder with subfolders;
- No: The script will return the size of the folder without subfolders;. This option is not available for HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX systems.
Following is an example using the Scripts Arguments field:
perl ${SCRIPT} /home/user yes
