How to monitor a linux file opened & closed status using Nagios

[Selvakumar A]

Hi,
  Thanks for your guidance.I followed your instructions.I installed net_nc in windows-XP and  I could only get the file's modified time.
  I am also interested to know about how to monitor a linux file's status whether it is opened or closed and modified etc.I used chech_file_age plugin which gives only the age of the file.Is there any way please help me.

Regards

A.Selvakumar

Hi,
It sounds like it is returning the Directory Age and not the Age of the
Files in the directory.

Check_nt requires a Plugin on the Windows Host,
So what plugin is on the Windows Host?

Nc_net should allow for testing Modified Date via Check_nc_net of both Files
or directorys.
Windows will report different values for these, and nc_net has options to
choose between these.

I do not know how this is implemented through the other Windows Plugins.

An alternative if you cannot find a plugin to do it, is to write a VB script

then send the results via NSCA, or Fetch usin NRPE.
