syntax for dir size check when using wildcards 🔗 link

Hi,

I have a number of application whose number or names are subject to
change. Each of them has a var/ dir in the directory structure.

Something like (the example is plain dumb, but it's an example) :

/var/svn/projects/hobbit-4.2-beta/db
/var/svn/project/hobbitexts/db
/var/svn/projects/hobbithttp/db

So to monitor the sizes of every single module db's directory, I added :

client-local.cfg : dir:/var/svn/projects/*/db

the client returns the expected data :

6737    /var/svn/projects/hobbit-4.2-beta/db/revs
0       /var/svn/projects/hobbit-4.2-beta/db/transactions
81      /var/svn/projects/hobbit-4.2-beta/db/revprops
6835    /var/svn/projects/hobbit-4.2-beta/db
160     /var/svn/projects/hobbithttp/db/revs
0       /var/svn/projects/hobbithttp/db/transactions
24      /var/svn/projects/hobbithttp/db/revprops
202     /var/svn/projects/hobbithttp/db
217     /var/svn/projects/hobbitexts/db/revs
0       /var/svn/projects/hobbitexts/db/transactions
141     /var/svn/projects/hobbitexts/db/revprops
375     /var/svn/projects/hobbitexts/db

But if I add this in hobbit-clients.cfg it does not work :
DIR %^/var/svn/projects/.+/db$ red     size<300

Try also with only :
DIR %db$ red     size<300

not luck.

So I changed client-local.cfg to:
dir:/var/svn/projects/

still not working.

So, does the regex matches only on the dirname that show in the [dir:]
section ?

Nope, that is wrong. If you want to use wildcards then you must 
run a local client command to generate the directory names. In your
case, something like

   dir:`ls -d /var/svn/projects/*/db`

should do it.

The difference is that when using a command like that, each of the
directories end up in a separate section in the client message.
And the directory size checking is done once per section, where it
just checks the last line (because the ones above are supposed to
be just subdirs of the directory you really want to check).

Henrik Stoerner a écrit :

client-local.cfg : dir:/var/svn/projects/*/db

   dir:`ls -d /var/svn/projects/*/db`

should do it.

Well, it just works, thanks !
