Re: [hobbit] to test the non-existence of a dir

Hi,

nice that you got it, :-).
You had to wait a little because of the inner communication flow of Hobbit:
When a client for which you've updated client-local.cfg connects the server to send its report, the server tells the client that there's a new part in client-local.cfg for it. The client downloads the new config, and applies it to its local configuration, which is read in the NEXT run of the client. So, it can take something between 10 and 20 mins (two poll cylces) before you get the new report. 
@Hobbit-gurus: I hope I haven't mixed up things in this description, :-)

Hi,

two remarks:

Did you use backticks (`) around the command?
And, I made a mistake with the "|", this is not necessary.

So, the right format for the entry in client-local.cfg is:

file:`find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"`

(refer to the manpage of client-local.cfg for it)

HTH,

Hi,

hm, first was comes in mind (not tested):

- use a find command in client-local.cfg, like
'find / -name "*_FIXED_PART_1*" |'
- use a regex along with noexist in hobbit-clients.cfg, like:
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_1.* red noexist

That should do the trick...

Off the top of my head I think you want something like,

if {-d /this/subdir}
echo BBVAR=green
else
echo BBVAR=red
I'm sure I'm missing a lot, not looking at it right now. Pretty sure -d tests directories.

    Hi,
Xymon allow me to test the non existence of file or directory. But 
    I'd like a more complex test. In my case, I don't want any
    directory named _FIXED_PART_anything in a whole tree.
    Example :

    I've
    /toto/_FIXED_PART_1 -> test is red
    /toto/a/sub/directory/_FIXED_PART_hello_world -> test is red
So, is there a "normal" way to use "files" test included in xymon ? 

    Regards,
    Damien

A shell script should look like this :

find $TREE -type d -name _FIXED_PART_\*
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    BBVAR=red
else
    BBVAR=green
fi

But i prefer to use integrated "files" test

Tks for your help, but your trick didn't work.

I added
file:'find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*" |'
to my host section in client-local.cfg
then I added
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_.* red noexist
to my host section in hobbit-clients.cfg
but nothing happens when i created a directory called _FIXED_PART_test in /tmp (no alert or anything) 
in files test, i've the following :
&green 'find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*" |' <https://www.makelofine.org/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=stan&SECTION=file:%27find%20/warez%20-type%20d%20-name> 

When I click on the link, i've :
<No data>




When I manually execute :
find /-type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"
I can see /tmp/_FIXED_PART_test

Ok for the "|", but, can you remind me the usage of "%" in regex ? I think it should be ^ instead in : 
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_.* red noexist
no ?

I just had to wait a little
