I couldn’t find any examples for raising file monitoring alarms. Can someone help me with the steps & syntax for defining alarms ? I have to monitor 2 files-file1 and file2 and raise different alarms when size of the files is more than 10MB.

My filecheck.conf would loook like  
jobs:  
- name: files\_example  
discovery\_every: 30s  
files:  
include:  
- ‘/path/to/file1’  
- ‘/path/to/file2’
