Re: [hobbit] File monitoring.

For wildcard, you want '.*' to represent any character instead of '*'
alone.  I have a handful of this kind of FILE checks.

hi all,

Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames
but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file.
If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert.

in client-local.cfg I have

file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1`

which produces the oldest file name on the web page.

I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg

   FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200

but I get no alarms.

Any ideas ?
