Folders
=======
The folders plugin allows user, through the configuration file, to
monitor size of a predefined folders list.
.. image:: ../_static/folders.png
If the size cannot be computed, a ``'?'`` (non-existing folder) or a
``'!'`` (permission denied) is displayed.
Each item is defined by:
- ``path``: absolute path to monitor (mandatory)
- ``careful``: optional careful threshold (in MB)
- ``warning``: optional warning threshold (in MB)
- ``critical``: optional critical threshold (in MB)
- ``refresh``: interval in second between two refresh (default is 30 seconds)
Up to ``10`` items can be defined.
For example, if you want to monitor the ``/tmp`` folder every minute,
the following definition should do the job:
.. code-block:: ini
[folders]
folder_1_path=/tmp
folder_1_careful=2500
folder_1_warning=3000
folder_1_critical=3500
folder_1_refresh=60
In client/server mode, the list is defined on the ``server`` side.
.. warning::
Do **NOT** define folders containing lot of files and subfolders or use an
huge refresh time...
