[Xymon] test for existence of directory on Windows

[Neil Simmonds]

I'm trying to set up a test to check for the existence of certain
directories on windows. We have automated transfers that run but our
users sometimes delete or move the directories by mistake causing the
transfers to fail.

 

I've configured client-local.cfg and analysis.cfg and the test is
working, however if the directory is empty it alerts at yellow and says

 

"Could not determine size of directory E:\dirtest"

 

I'd like to either fix it so that it correctly recognises the directory
exists or stop the yellow alert somehow,

 

I thought of perhaps using "delayyellow=file:10000000 which would give
me about 20 years before it would turn yellow but this is not ideal.

 

Has anyone had this issue and perhaps found a fix?
