Kind of a two part question:

  1. What is the best way to monitor a folder that contains a bunch of files and alert if any one of those files exceeds a predefined file size? Keeping in mind I cannot control the file names and they routinely change.
  2. What is the best way to monitor a top level directory with many sub-directories for any file that exceeds a specific size? In this situation new directories are routinely created and I still have no control over their names.

Hi Woodie,

Our Folder sensor can only monitor file count, folder size overall and oldest/newest file.
This means you will need to create a custom sensor wit a custom script to monitor the values you want to monitor.

Kind regards
