Project Notes
## Description
This plugin determines the file count of a directory (without sub dirs) and compares it with the supplied thresholds.
Usage: check_numoffiles -d path -w warn -c crit
## Output:
The plugin prints the count of files in the directory followed by "ok" or either "warning" or "critical" if the corresponing threshold is reached.
Exit Codes
0 = OK (Directory count of files checked and everything is ok)
1 = Warning (Directory count of files above "warning" threshold)
2 = Critical (Directory count of files above "critical" threshold)
3 = Unknown (Invalid command line arguments or could not determine directory size)
## Example
check_numoffiles -d . -w 1000 -c 1400
121 files - ok (exit code 0)
1234 files - warning (exit code 1)
1633 files - critical (exit code 2)

On the nagios client side, NRPE is giving proper output. But, Nagios Core is showing something else.
On Nagios Clinet (NRPE):
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_numoffiles.sh -d /var/named/
213 files - ok
NRPE.CFG File Configuration:
command[check_files]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_numoffiles.sh -d /var/named/
Error comes in Nagios Core:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 203.77.200.10 -c check_files
0 files - ok
I don't understand why it is showing -0 files? The plugin is pretty much simple to run.
It works but I needed to make some enhancements.
Not sure how updates on NagiosExchange works so I'll mention them here.
Removed dependacy on /usr/bin/basename
PROGNAME=$0
PROGPATH=${PROGNAME%/*}
PROGNAME=${PROGNAME##*/}
Replaced -ge by -gt to allow warning/error for 0 files on directories that should be empty.
