File / Directory Monitor - Help Index

The IPSentry File & Directory Monitoring Add-In provides you with the ability to monitor file and directory sizes, existence, modification, and aggregate information and be alerted via IPSentry alerting features when the specified thresholds are reached.

Just a few uses for the File/Directory Add-in.

• Monitoring specific files for excessive growth in size and generating alerts when the file sizes exceeds specified thresholds.
  

• Monitor directory structures (Network shares and FTP directories) and notify users or customers that their directory space in use is either approaching or is beyond the recommend limit.
  

• Ensure that application specific log files are being updated periodically by checking the file attributes and size information.  e.g. Backup logs.
  

• Ensure that processes complete by checking for the existence of their completion status files at specified intervals.
  

• Checking static web content files to ensure that modifications are not made without knowledge.
