Reports the number and total size of files in specified directories.
Configuration
[[inputs.filecount]]
## Directory to gather stats about.
## deprecated in 1.9; use the directories option
# directory = "/var/cache/apt/archives"
## 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"
