I have a directory structure like: d:\directory\4567\file.name d:\directory\1234\file.name d:\directory\1\file.name I want the regex to count the occurrences of "file.name" within sub-directories who's name length is > 1. So in the above example the count should be 2.
Here is what i tested with.
This did not work/produce any count:
vfs.dir.count[d:\directory\, "\d{2,}\\file\.name"]
This did not work either:
vfs.dir.count[d:\directory\, "\d{2,}"]
This worked but counted all contents of the directories.
vfs.dir.count[d:\directory\, "[0-9]{2,}"]
This did not work:
vfs.dir.count[d:\directory\, "[0-9]{2,}\\file\.name"]
This worked but gives me one more count than i want.
vfs.dir.count[d:\directory\, "file\.name"]
So can someone explain why the below examples don't work ? "\d{2,}\\file\.name" "[0-9]{2,}\\file\.name"
Thank you. |

I believe by design pattern is simply applied to basename. |

Hi, As Glebs said - by design the regex patter is applied to basename. As a workaround you could use an external script with your defined logic to count the occurrences of the file.name and pass it to a zabbix item. In addition, you can create a Zabbix feature request containing a description of the requested logic and the use case you presented in this ticket. Since this cannot be classified as a bug report, we will be closing this ticket. Feel free to use our forums or our IRC channel to further discuss the possible ways to define the requested logic within Zabbix. |
