Hi,
you can do this using agent and parameter File.Size with recursive option set to on. For example, to monitor total size of all files under /home/user, add the following DCI:
File.Size(/home/user,*,1)
For reference, full description of File.Size is below:
File.Size(path, pattern, recursive, size, age)
where
path : path to directory or file to check
pattern : pattern for file name matching
recursive : recursion flag; if set to 1 or true, agent will scan subdirectories
size : size filter; if < 0, only files with size less than abs(value) will match;
if > 0, only files with size greater than value will match
age : age filter; if < 0, only files created after now - abs(value) will match;
if > 0, only files created before now - value will match
all arguments except path are optional.
Same syntax is for File.Count, which will return number of files instead of size.
Best regards,
Victor
