File Age Monitor (Wildcard)

This allows you to check the age of a specific file type and define how many minutes old a file can be.

There are three variables that can be defines in the 'Script Argument'

Path: This is the full path to the file or folder.
- Examples of file path:
  - C:\temp\*.txt
  - D:\application\*.xml
Time: in minutes. Default minute parameter is set to 60 in the SAM template.
Recursive: If pointed to a folder setting this to $true will also check all sub-directories.

Thanks for the help with correcting the file count vinx dpillar@summit.com

the script i have in the template is this:

Can this script be used to monitor multiple files in a linux directory? I know I am +5 years late.

Can this be used to monitor a share? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can confirm the credentials can see the files in Windows Explorer from the poller, but the check comes back with 0 files found.

I have a couple of comments. In order to get the script to work with suggested credentials I had to set the setting below:
I also could not get the arguments to be accepted from Scripts Argument field. I had to hard-code in script's body. I would appreciate some clarification as to why that would fail

bharris1, You'd either have to use the agent (easiest way to do it) or you have to setup WinRM on that remote server. If you do the latter, you can update the component monitor to use 'Remote Host' and fill in the WinRM info.
