Dear all,
i have a little problem with cacti. Iam trying to count files in a shared directory. The directory is always full with tonns of files. My problem how can i do this with cacti. Ihave a vbs script but i think i will need a pearl.

Set OBJfso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

STRFolderSpec="\\ber-fax-002\reports"
intFiles=0
'assign folder to object
Set sourcedir = OBJfso.GetFolder(STRFolderSpec)
Set Files = sourcedir.Files



'Loop through  all Files
For Each flfile In Files
	intFiles=intFiles+1
Next

'Complete reading

I hope anybody has an Idea.

Thanks

From what I understand of the scripting engine, you just need to modify your vbs script to output the results in a standard way. See the documentation for more details on the format, or take a look at the example scripts in Cacti (and of course the other threads).

Also remember to setup the scheduled task with a user id that can access that directory.
