empty-state not available?

[robert2555]

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

It seems, that the empty-state function has been removed from the check_file command. Even in the help section there is no empty-state syntax defined.

The error i got:

Invalid command line: unrecognised option 'ath=XXXXXX "empty-state=OK' help Show help screen (this screen) help-pb Show help screen as a protocol buffer payload show-default Show default values for a given command help-short Show help screen (short format). syntax= Syntax for individual items (detail-syntax). master-syntax= Syntax for top syntax (top-syntax). path= The file or path to check pattern= Deprecated and ignored alias= Deprecated and ignored debug Debug max-dir-depth= The maximum level to recurse filter= The filter to use when including files in the check warn= Deprecated and ignored crit= Deprecated and ignored MaxWarn= Maximum value before a warning is returned. MaxCrit= Maximum value before a critical is returned. MinWarn= Minimum value before a warning is returned. MinCrit= Minimum value before a critical is returned.

Command: CheckFiles "filter=written < -72h" "syntax=%filename% older than 3 days!" "path=C:\Users...<file>" "empty-state=ok" "MaxCrit=1"

Expected Behavior

I wanted to set the exit 3 state to ok, so that the nagios throw a "ok" instead of a "unknown"

Actual Behavior

I got a error, if i work with the "empty-state=ok" option

Did you find a resolution/work-around for this? I suffer from the same issue.
