[Nagios-users] Unusual request....
HI All, I was asked by one of my users to see if there is a way that NAGIOS can check to see if a certain file was updated with in the last 10 minutes, and it is not updated then to issue an alert. Is there a plugging for NAGIOS to handle this? If not any ideas how I could get this done?

scrap that, I've just seen there is a plugin to do just this, check_file_age. -h Hari Sekhon Hari Sekhon wrote: > This should be very easy to write a plugin for in bash or python. > > Just check the last modified data against the current time and go > warning/critical if the difference between the timestamp is too high. > > -h > > Hari Sekhon > > > > Lacayo, Luis F wrote: >> HI All, >> I was asked by one of my users to see if there is a way that NAGIOS can >> check to see if a certain file was updated with in the last 10 minutes, >> and it is not updated then to issue an alert. >> >> Is there a plugging for NAGIOS to handle this?

This should be very easy to write a plugin for in bash or python. Just check the last modified data against the current time and go warning/critical if the difference between the timestamp is too high. -h Hari Sekhon Lacayo, Luis F wrote: > HI All, > > I was asked by one of my users to see if there is a way that NAGIOS can > check to see if a certain file was updated with in the last 10 minutes, > and it is not updated then to issue an alert. > > Is there a plugging for NAGIOS to handle this?

To point you in the right direction: Unix/Linux (and some other OSes too) keep a record of different time settings regarding to files. You can for instance choose to display the time a file is created, the time a file is last modified and the time a file is last accessed. In your case, I think the modification time should do the trick. You can write a plugin that checks the difference between the modification_time and the real time.
