Hello All,
I have a question regarding a type of alert I have never set up, and I am wondering about the best way to go about it. I have been asked to alert/report on a particular directory, specifically whenever a file is written to the directory. I have created a file size monitor in the past, but never a "file write". In looking at the App Monitor templates in SAM, I see that there is a File Count Script template. In looking at the monitor, it seems that I would be able to set this on a directory, and it would alert any time the file count in the directory changed, effectively setting up the alert I have been asked for. I should note that we are using SAM 5.0.1.
Does this sound like the correct way to set something like this up? Is there a way to do this type of alert effectively? Any comments or opinions would be appreciated. I am hoping that by getting several different viewpoints, I can determine the best method and perhaps catch anything I might have missed. Thanks-
