Monitoring objects in a given folder

Would like to be able to monitor the number of objects in a folder so once the number of objects reached a certain threshold an alert would be sent out. This would be useful for given print jobs in our queue and wether or not jobs are completing successfully. Any ideas?

Use the File Count monitor. It counts file in a folder and subfolders.

The help has a full list of APM component monitor types that can give you a feel for what else is possible with the software.

You can also look at the APM templates list in the Admin Guide to see the preconfigured applications, most of which work out of the box. Assign to the appropriate server, specify the admin password, and performance data ought to trickle in.

There's one specifically to monitor Windows print servers:

Windows Print Services

This template assess the status of Windows Print services.
