File Existence Component - what all needs to happen to read the files on target machine?

FormerMember

I went to the directory in question: E:\DataMart\SSIS_LOGS and identified file Data_Listener_Updates.logs to be monitored.  So I right clicked on the

directory E:\DataMart\SSIS_LOGS and went to Security and added an AD user which I use for WMI normally.  I gave it read, read/execute and list folder

contents permissions.  In configuring the component I entered into the File Path \\${IP}\e$\DataMart\SSIS_LOGS\Data_Listener_Updates.log.  And I gave

the Credentials for Monitor of the monitoring user ID mentioned earlier.  When I test I get the output below.  Any assistance appreciated.

 

Testing on node RUNDMC.PC.LOCA: failed with 'Unknown' status

In your example above the user must have access to the administrative share e$ and a minimum of read level access to both the DataMart and SSIS_LOGS directories. The easiest way to test your permissions is to log into your Orion server (or other workstation) using the same user account you've defined the permissions for accessing the files, and attempting to remotely map a drive to the share location and access the file manually. If this is successful then it should also work for APM.
