MONITOR FILES IN A FOLDER ON WINDOWS SERVER

Is it possible to monitor some files in a directory on Windows server 2003/2208?

 

- Number of each filetype (zip, etc..)

- Number of files

- Size of each files

 

Please give a recommendation to me.

 

Thank you in advance

    You could probably write a powershell program to do what you want when your error conditions are met, insert a event into the local windows event log and use zenoss to alert when that event appears.

     

    ( or perl , I would use perl but windows fellas would probably use powershell )

    If you don't want a local script on the server(s) in question and/or rely on event log monitoring you could leverage WMI. Looks like there is an older ZenPack that used to do this. It may or may not work in 3.x, but the WMI query it leverages probably still applies.

    docs/DOC-3384

     

    With a little digging you can probably extract the WMI query and roll your own template
