That was helpful. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>I didn’t find the GetFileSize command but I accomplish to make it work with the command CheckFileSize using the following syntax: <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>alias_individual=CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=17G MaxCrit=20G "File:_Individual=d:\Network Shares\individual\*.*"<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The only problem that I have now is that when I apply the syntax to my individual folder (d:\Network Shares\individual\*.*), nsclient++ service crash and stops working. But if I try to monitor a folder inside individual it works perfectly, I don’t know if it has something to do with the fact that my individual folder actual size is over 50GB, because I tried monitoring a folder inside individual directory with almost 20 GB of size and it worked perfectly. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Does CheckFileSize command has a limitation size to monitor? or maybe, <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Could be that my individual folder had a lot of subfolders that also have subfolders and files?<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>Also, Does CheckFileSize command has a directory depth level limitation?, Windows has a limitation on name lengths for the folders in the path, could be this limitation affecting?

In one of this servers I have a folder that inside have many other folders and files, I want to monitor this folder and let Nagios send me a warning or critical notification when the size of this folder grows too much (Ex. Folder Size 50 GB, warning when is over 70 GB and critical when is over 80 GB). <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>I tried to accomplish this using CheckFileSize and CheckDriveSize but not succeeded at all. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>When I use CheckFileSize like this: <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>alias_individual=CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=60G MaxCrit=70G "File:_Individual=d:/Network Shares/individual/*.*"<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>I got that the result is ok but 0 Bytes. I even got the same result if I eliminate the *.* at the end of the path. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p><img border=0 width=664 height=160 id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image002.png@01CCFD10.7A889FE0"><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>When CheckDriveSize is used:<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>alias_individual=CheckDriveSize MaxWarn=60G MaxCrit=70G ShowAll=long "Drive=\\servername\\individual"<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>I got the size but this size is the size of all the Hard Disk and not the size of the folder. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>Hope you can help me to solve this issue or give any ideas to accomplish the monitoring of size folders. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>Thanks in advance. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p><div>Jorge L.
