Monitor Windows folder size

I can monitor a disk volume with NPM and I can now monitor File Size with APM 2.5. How can I monitor a directory/folder on a disk? For example, C:\directory\log. This way I can tell if a particular directory is over a threshhold and I can remove those log files.

If I understand you correctly, you want to count the number of files in a folder using APM.

The File Count template from APM 2.5 should do this. It contains a Windows Script monitor that runs a script to count files in folders. You need to specify the folder path as the argument. Specify the path in Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format. For example: \\computername\c$\logfiles

I wasn't very clear in my original post. I want to montior file/folder/disk size. My main question is how do I monitor folder/directory size.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I too am curious to see if you were able to find anything that would monitor folder size.
