directory test

Hi,

I'm using actually xymon 4.2.3. I check for presence of some files (red if present, else green ), and it's working very well.
I'd like to do almost same test with directory. Final objective is :
if there is any directory called toto_ANYTHING in /tata (to any level in the directory hierarchy of /tata, I'd like yellow result, else green result).

I tried to use :
[host]
dir:/tata/*/toto_*
in my client-local.cfg
and
HOST=host
DIR /tata/*/toto_* yellow NOEXIST
in my hobbit-clients.cfg

 But I get errors (Could not determine size of directory /tata/*/toto_ANYTHING)
Do I need to write my own test, or is there an included test that could do what I described ?

Tks for any help

Not sure if it will work, but I'd start with something like
  [host]
  file:`find /tata -name toto_*`
That gives you a list of the files you're looking for. And then
in hobbit-clients.cfg you would have

  HOST=host
      FILE %^/tata/toto_ yellow noexist

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately this didn't work.
If I replace
file:`find /tata -name toto_*` with
with
file:$(find /tata -name toto_*) I can get :

green $(find /tata -type d -name toto_*)
But it's wrong, I have a toto_test directory in /tata

So, I don't think it's the appropriate solution

Hi,

I get all messages twice, is it a normal behaviour ?

Your find is looking for the existence of the directory, not the non-existence.
So the green status is correct.

Change it to an 'if' statement like 
if [ $(find /tata -d -name toto_*) ]; then echo &red ; else echo &green ; fi

Or something similar

Alternatively, you can look into the correct useage of the '!'-operator (boolean NOT) in your 'find' expression.
I could not find the correct way to use it quick enough, sorry.

If you want to check that a directory doesn't exist, why not use Xymon's builtin functionality?

That's I want to do. I'd like to check the existence of a directory, and get yellow status if the directory exists. The difficulty is that the directory name is variable, it begins with toto_ and is followed by a random value.
So my first question was :
How to use the "files" test to check it.

1st, I want to use "files" test if possible. Thanks for your command line, it's what i'm ready to use if I can't find how to use integrated "files" test.

Hi,

From the listinfo page, perhaps use the 'xymon-owner' email address at the
bottom? I'm sure they would want to know about the 404 as well.
