⭐ Telegraf v1.8.0 🏷️ system 💻 all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Count files in a directory
[[inputs.filecount]]
  ## Directories to gather stats about.
  ## This accept standard unit glob matching rules, but with the addition of
  ## ** as a "super asterisk". ie:
  ##   /var/log/**    -> recursively find all directories in /var/log and count files in each directories
  ##   /var/log/*/*   -> find all directories with a parent dir in /var/log and count files in each directories
  ##   /var/log       -> count all files in /var/log and all of its subdirectories
  directories = ["/var/cache/apt", "/tmp"]

  ## Only count files that match the name pattern. Defaults to "*".
  name = "*"

  ## Count files in subdirectories. Defaults to true.
  recursive = true

  ## Only count regular files. Defaults to true.
  regular_only = true

  ## Follow all symlinks while walking the directory tree. Defaults to false.
  follow_symlinks = false

  ## Only count files that are at least this size. If size is
  ## a negative number, only count files that are smaller than the
  ## absolute value of size. Acceptable units are B, KiB, MiB, KB, ...
  ## Without quotes and units, interpreted as size in bytes.
  size = "0B"

  ## Only count files that have not been touched for at least this
  ## duration. If mtime is negative, only count files that have been
  ## touched in this duration. Defaults to "0s".
  mtime = "0s"

Metrics

  • filecount
    • tags:
      • directory (the directory path)
    • fields:
      • count (integer)
      • size_bytes (integer)
      • oldest_file_timestamp (int, unix time nanoseconds)
      • newest_file_timestamp (int, unix time nanoseconds)

Example Output

filecount,directory=/var/cache/apt count=7i,size_bytes=7438336i,oldest_file_timestamp=1507152973123456789i,newest_file_timestamp=1507152973123456789i 1530034445000000000
filecount,directory=/tmp count=17i,size_bytes=28934786i,oldest_file_timestamp=1507152973123456789i,newest_file_timestamp=1507152973123456789i 1530034445000000000
