Could not determine size of directory
Anyone have a clue why the following folder size can't be determined when I add it to analysis.cfg and client-local.cfg ?
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS" Could not determine size of directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS"
These other folders are working fine. C:\inetpub\logs C:\Windows\Temp C:\Windows\Logs\CBS C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER
The only difference I see is spaces in the path.? I've put "" around it, but that doesn't seem to fix it. Does someone have a working example that includes spaces in the path?

Sorry, I don't have any examples to offer.
What does the directory's section in your client data message look like? And your entries in analysis.cfg and client-local.cfg?
You might be able to "match" the dirname with a regex, something like:
DIR "%^C:.Program.Files.Common.Files.microsoft.shared.Web.Server.Extensions.15.LOGS" SIZE<65000
J
analysis.cfg entry. DIR???? "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS" red size<2000000 TRACK=SPlogs
client-local.cfg entry. dir:"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS"

Just to close the loop on this topic, I finally got this working by creating a 'directory junction' symbolic link in a folder without spaces that points to the folder path that has all the spaces in the name.? Then I have the Xymon server test my symlink instead of the real path because I could never get it to work any other way. Here's some examples.
In Windows host: Use CMD to make 'junction' symlink to folder you want. mklink /J C:\ProgramData\SPlogs ?C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS?
In Xymon server: In client-local.cfg file. ?? ?dir:C:\ProgramData\SPlogs\TaskUsage
In analysis.cfg file. ?? ?DIR???? C:\ProgramData\SPlogs\TaskUsage red size<2000000 TRACK=TaskUsage

Were you able to see the directory size output in the clientlog earlier? It would look something like:
[dir:/var/log/foo bar/test1] 4840 /var/log/foo bar/test1
In theory, if that was in the clientlog, then double quotes around the DIR line in analysis.cfg should be all that's necessary:
CLASS=linux DIR "/var/log/foo bar/test1" red size<2000000 TRACK=FooBar
You can validate that the latter is being picked up by dumping the client config: xymoncmd xymond_client --dump-config (snip) DIR /var/log/foo bar/test1 red size<2000000 TRACK=FooBar CLASS=linux (line: 360) (snip)
Which Windows client were you using for the collection on your machine?

I use XymonPSclient v2.42
I tried all sorts of variations of quotes, brackets, etc, with no success.? I even made significant efforts to create custom Environment Variables in Windows and test that instead, but that didn't work either.? I think it actually comes down to a Powershell command issue because PS is finicky and uses syntax that doesn't port well with linux.? And because I care more about function than form, I'm ok with my final solution, even though I understand I shouldn't have to go through these hoops just to test a folder's size.? But that's what I've come to expect with Windows.? It keeps me employed even though I despise it.
