Does anyone have a good script to see if files in a directory have not been modified in X number of days? For checking of directories where files are automatically placed, having a check on the last modified date of these files would be handy!
I don't know of that exact script, but it seems like you could modify this one to do what you're looking for.
This seems like the most common request for file based verification. APM 2.5 has file functionality built in, but this was overlooked. Why? How is verifying the checksome of a file (and needing to go in an reset the checksum) more important than specifying file XYZ and seeing if it has/has not been modifyed in ABC period of time? Makes no sense to me?
+1 for this request. Is there a VBscript I can integrate into APM to accomplish this? I think the best solution would be for solarwinds to include this in the next release of APM
I am not holding my breath. Pointed this out to support last fall and posted here in December. Best I got was " here is something you might be able to modify up". Good luck . . . . Thanks, really helpful!

It's not the most common request. We delivered on the most common request.

It wasn't overlooked. I realize it seems backwards to you because it doesn't fit your use case very well, but we prioritized the current monitor over the one you requested based on the totality of user feedback.
That said, we are planning to add a file age monitor, which is certainly a useful monitor.
No promises, but that's the plan.
