Monitoring of directories about filestat_exporter HOT 4 OPEN

Just in case if you want to monitor just the size of directory. Created my custom exporter
https://github.com/nischalstha9/prometheus-directory-size-exporter

from filestat_exporter.

Not as such. You can compute metrics from the files inside a directory: count() for the number of files, sum() on file size for directory size and max() on timestamp for last modification.

Hello michael, how about monitoring files in 2 separated directories?
is there a way to monitor two directories with the same configfile.yml?

from filestat_exporter.

I was able to use the following configuration from the example in the README, in case it helps. You would need to find a list of file extensions or patterns to monitor in order to catch files in your directory. If you don't have a pattern among the files it would be more difficult.

      files:
        - patterns: ["directory1/myfile-*"]
        - patterns: ["directory2/otherfile-*"]
