Monitor the age of a file

Can I use Icinga to monitor the last-modified date of a specific file, and send an alert if it reaches a defined value?

  1. You can use Icinga to monitor anything which can be measured. If you can’t
    find a service check command which already does what you want, you can easily
    write your own.
