Inotify: Monitor File System Operations
Distribution	offizieller Teil von Check_MK
Lizenz	GPL
Unterstützte Agenten	Linux

This check evaluates the data reported by the mk_inotify plugin on the target system. This plugin requires the python module pyinotify to be installed. Inotify allows you to monitor certain file operations on the target system. E.g. you will get a message for specific operations like {access}, {open}, {create}, {delete}, {modify}. In the agent bakery you can configure the files and folders to be monitored and specify in which operation you are interested in. You can configure levels relating to the age of the last operation. So you can check last modified age for example.

Item

{{file}} or {{folder}} plus the path to it

Discovery
