Folder Monitor

Researching how to monitor a folder.  Use case is this:

  1. Network folder, Windows style.  So, accessed via UNC path: \\server\directory\directory\
  2. Need to check for quantity of files and alert if over a certain quantity

It's on a file server currently, but will be moving to more of a file storage appliance in the near future.  So, typical OneAgent monitoring not an option.

Not finding solutions in searching community or documentation.

Anyone successful doing anything like this in the past?

Did you check the Filesystem Monitoring extension:

Thanks Antonio,

I did.  That appears to require OA installed on the host of the file system to be monitored.  I don't know that I have that option in this scenario, so was looking for a way to remotely check a network available directory
