Folders
The folders plugin allows user, through the configuration file, to monitor size of a predefined folders list.
If the size cannot be computed, a '?'
(non-existing folder) or a
'!'
(permission denied) is displayed.
Each item is defined by:
path
: absolute path to monitor (mandatory)careful
: optional careful threshold (in MB)warning
: optional warning threshold (in MB)critical
: optional critical threshold (in MB)refresh
: interval in second between two refresh (default is 30 seconds)
Up to 10
items can be defined.
For example, if you want to monitor the /tmp
folder every minute,
the following definition should do the job:
[folders]
folder_1_path=/tmp
folder_1_careful=2500
folder_1_warning=3000
folder_1_critical=3500
folder_1_refresh=60
In client/server mode, the list is defined on the server
side.
Warning
Symbolic links are not followed.
Warning
Do NOT define folders containing lot of files and subfolders or use an huge refresh time…
