Monitor Folder Size

wildchubby

Is it possible to create a monitor that will alert me if a folder has a number of files?  Specifically, I want to monitor a mail queue folder and be warned if the folder has more than X number of files.

I am using IP Monitor 9.

 

Thanks,

Hi Wildchubby,

Simply use the Directory Monitor.  To add it:

1. Click the Devices tab.
2. Click "All Managed Devices"
3. Click the Device that has the directory you wish to monitor.
4. Click "Add -> Add New Monitor"
5. On the left-hand side, click "Windows"
6. On the right-hand side, click "Directory"
7. Enter the UNC path leading to the directory you wish to monitor.  I.e: \\mailsrv01\share\queue\ or \\mailsrv01\c$\directory\queue\
8. Select "File count must be" and set to "<" a certain number.
9. Click OK.

That should be all.
