File

Description

Check if a file for file, link or directory. Use the parameter “filename” to set the full filename.

Other given parameters are flags to check. Its values can be set to true (flag must must be true) or false (flag must fail to return a true result). Missing flags won’t be checked.

Giving just a filename without any other flag returns true.

Examples

Example 1

Check if “filename” is a directory and is writable

$oMonitor->addCheck(
    [
        "name" => "tmp subdir",
        "description" => "Check cache storage",
        "check" => [
            "function" => "File",
            "params" => [
                "filename" => $sApproot . "/server/tmp",
                "dir"      => true,
                "writable" => true,
            ],
        ],
    ]
);

Example 2

With “exists” => false you can check if a file does not exist (flag is checked that it is not matching).

$oMonitor->addCheck(
    [
        "name" => "Maintenance mode",
        "description" => "Check if Maintenance mode is not activated by a flag file",
        "check" => [
            "function" => "File",
            "params" => [
                "filename" => "/var/www/maintenance_is_active.txt",
                "exists"      => false,
            ],
        ],
    ]
);
