I'm trying to monitor a folder in Ubuntu, in this path: /usr/local/bin/XXXX But I see in the console: Cannot Access Folder: the folder doesn't exist

but if I connect to that machine through Putty using ssh, i can go to that folder. What am i doing wrong?

Hello there,

PRTG's folder sensor can only access smb shares. See here for example how to enable it on Linux.

If you require an approach using SSH, there is no pre-built sensor in PRTG that does this, but you can try it with a script of your own and an SSH Script Sensor for example.

Kind regards,

Erhard
