Monitored Components
Linux-Unix File Size
This monitor returns the size of specific file or files in kB.
Note: Before using this monitor, the correct arguments should be set. This monitor requires the following arguments:
perl ${SCRIPT} path_to_file1 [path_to_file2] ...
where
path_to_file1
This is full path to the target file or files. Regular expressions are allowed.
[path_to_file2] ...
Additional arguments allow the monitor to get statistics for additional target files. The resulting statistic will be shown as the total size of all files of all the arguments.
Below is an example using the Scripts Arguments field:
perl ${SCRIPT} /tmp/prod*.log
perl ${SCRIPT} /tmp/prod*.log /tmp/prod*.err /var/log/status*
