I set up a sensor which triggers a file on a linux server; so far no problems. I get an alarm if the file does not exits (which is the case from time to time), BUT I want to get an alarm IF the file exists (just the other way round).
Any suggestions?

Dear Martin,
I'm afraid this can only be done with a self-written custom script sensor.
best regards.
