[Xymon] analysis.cfg ignoring file existence

[Mike Burger]

I'm currently locating files using the find command in client-local.cfg,
a la:

 

file:`find /path/to/file/locations -type f -name somename*`

 

And alerting if the files exist in analysis.cfg a la:

 

FILE %/path/to/file/locations/somename.* yellow NOEXIST

 

The first command looks in the particular path for a file to appear
starting with somename. So if a file starting with "somename" appears in
the directory as noted, it generates a yellow alert.

 

I would imagine that you could try:

 

file:`find /path/to/file/locations -type f -mtime -1`

 

and

 

FILE %/path/to/file/locations/.* <color> NOEXIST

 

The option in client-local.cfg will cause the remote client to search
for and list anything in the specified path that has an mtime less than
1 day old, and if found/listed, analysis.cfg should generate an alert of
<color> status.

Is there a way to check an MTIME on a file, AND ignore its existence.

 

In other words, I don't care if the file exists or not, but I want to be
alerted if the file does exists AND was last modified over 24 hours ago.
