I'd meant there "head -1" by itself, which means "show the first
line." BTW, if you wanted to show just the last line, that would be
"tail -1".

I modified the client-local.cfg file as below: [MYSQLSERVER01] file:`find /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name "*.sql" -mtime 0

The webpage shows the file is present -

Next I changed the directory so no file matches the find command
and then the files icon goes white and gives me the "No files
checked" message.

No files checked
Can anyone advise how I translate that into an email to our DBA to indicate the file doesn't exist ?
Thanks

Perhaps if you set up your client-local.cfg entry like:
file:`find /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name '*.sql' -mtime 0
2>/dev/null | sort -r | head --lines=1`
so that only the most recent file (by name) will be returned.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi folks. I've been trying to figure this out for a while and
would appreciate any help.
I'm trying to monitor for a sql backup by watching for a set of files that are created every morning at 00:05 AM by a cron job on
a server. There are several files created each night the sql dump
runs. It creates them as filename_backup__yyyymmdd.sql So each day
there are new file names created (never the same name) I want to
alert if the file doesn't get created each day with the new name.
I have configured the client-local.cfg file as follows: [MYSQLSERVER01] # dir:`find /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name '*.sql'
-mtime 0 2>/dev/null` #
file:/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql file:`find
/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name '*.sql' -mtime 0 2>/dev/null`
Analysis.cfg is as follows: HOST=MYSQLSERVER01 FILE %^.sql
COLOR=red mtime<600 # FILE
/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql red mtime<600 #
FILE /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql COLOR=red mtime<600 # FILE /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql
red mtime>86400 # FILE
/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql red mtime<86400 #
FILE /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql red
mtime>600 # FILE /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql
mtime>86400 noexist
Xymon generates this msg when I use the full filename – eg mysqlbackup20121004.sql in analysis.cfg It doesn't work when I try
to use a wildcard name (which I need because the filename will
change each day) - eg FILE %^.sql
Example alert is below using full real filename:
Thu Oct 4 16:02:11 CDT 2012 - Files NOT ok
red /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql
<http://srmxymon.ambrosi.com/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?CLIENT=MYSQLSERVER01&SECTION=file:/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql>;
File was modified 57134 seconds ago - should be <600
green /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/herbalife_backup_20121004.sql
<http://srmxymon.ambrosi.com/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?CLIENT=MYSQLSERVER01&SECTION=file:/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/herbalife_backup_20121004.sql>;
