distribution: check_mk
description:
  This check monitors the size and age of a single file
  in the target host's filesystem. If the globbing pattern
  matches multiple files, one service per matching file is created.
  You can set lower and upper limits on the age and filesize.

  The required python plug-in mk_filestats is configured
  via {filestats.cfg} located in the {$MK_CONFDIR}
  (usually {/etc/check_mk/filestats.cfg}).
  To add single file(s) to the check, add one
  configuration section to the file. The subcheck is triggered, if
  {output:} is set to {single_file}.

  For an extensive documentation of the available options,
  please refer to "mk_filestats.py --help".

item:
  The matched file.

discovery:
  One service is created for each matched file.
