Anyone experienced using the monitor named FILE CHANGE MONITOR?

lchance

can or should this particular monitor consistently use the same file name even after the file checksum changes?

i was doing a test with the filename TEST.TXT and after changing it and seeing it go critical in APM i tried using UPDATE CHECKSUM but it would never go back to normal.

it only went back to normal when i changed to a totally different filename of TEST.TXT-BACKUP

 

thanks.

Hello lchance,
This monitor can use same file name after file change.

If you update checksum, do you put correct file in "Select and upload a file for snapshot creation:"? Checksum is counted from file you upload using this filed. If you just hit "Update Checksum" without specifying file in "Select and upload a file for snapshot creation:" field, checksum is not updated and so monitor remains in it's current state.

Check usage here.
