Monitor Directory (Folders) Size with NSClient++

[Jorge Pañeda]

Hello all, 
 
I’m using NSClient++ 0.3.9, nsca and passive checks to monitor my Windows server behind a firewall. 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). 
 
I tried to accomplish this using CheckFileSize and CheckDriveSize but not succeeded at all. 
 
When I use CheckFileSize like this: 
 
alias_individual=CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=60G MaxCrit=70G "File:_Individual=d:/Network Shares/individual/*.*"
 
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. 
 

 
When CheckDriveSize is used:
 
alias_individual=CheckDriveSize MaxWarn=60G MaxCrit=70G ShowAll=long "Drive=\\servername\\individual"
 
I got the size but this size is the size of all the Hard Disk and not the size of the folder. 
 
Hope you can help me to solve this issue or give any ideas to accomplish the monitoring of size folders. 
 
Thanks in advance.
