My test data set is: -rw-rw-r-- 1 usr1 grp1 10 May 11 12:51 OF_TEST.part -rw-rw-r-- 1 usr1 grp1 10 May 11 12:53 OF_TEST1.part -rwxrwxrwx 1 usr1 grp1 10 May 11 12:53 OF_TEST2.part -rw-r--r-- 1 usr1 grp1 2 Jun 02 09:14 abcd.part -rw-r--r-- 1 usr1 grp1 0 Jun 02 07:52 test.today For files defined as: files: QAHost:: ${QAhomedir}/APPS_STAGE recurse=inf filter=Partials include=*.part action=alert ifelapsed=1 and filter defined as: filters: { Partials FromMtime: "date(2011,6,1,0,0,0)" ToMtime: "now" Type: "file" Result: "Type" } what gets matched is all of the files in the data set even though some of the files are dated May: Checking file(s) in /appsQED1/edi/APPS_STAGE cfengine:host1: Alert specified on file /appsQED1/edi/APPS_STAGE/OF/OF_TEST.part (m=664,o=287,g=236) cfengine:host1: Alert specified on file /appsQED1/edi/APPS_STAGE/OF/OF_TEST1.part (m=664,o=287,g=236) cfengine:host1: Alert specified on file /appsQED1/edi/APPS_STAGE/OF/OF_TEST2.part (m=777,o=287,g=236) cfengine:host1: Alert specified on file /appsQED1/edi/APPS_STAGE/OF/abcd.part (m=644,o=287,g=236) Based on what I’ve defined, I’m expecting only the files that have a modification time beginning June 1st to now to be matched. Can someone please explain what I’m not understanding about how the time functions in a filter definition work? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
