File Age Monitor

I want to be able to monitor a directory file for a variable file name and a specific extension (XYZ)

The kicker is this file may or may not exist. If a custom service hangs on our system It will leave files that are not processed. I want to be able to count the files (which I can by *.XYZ in the file counter monitor) but the file age does not give me this option..

Currently my directory identifier is \\${IP}\C$\Directry_1\Directory _2\SomeOther

How would I change the directory statement to acutally find the filename.xyz or is this not possible

I tried \*.XYV and it didnt work.

\\${IP}\C$\Directry_1\Directory _2\SomeOther\Filename.xyz

Unfortunately File Age Monitor does not support wildcards.

You could achieve what you want by writing a custom script (vbscript or PowerShell) and execute it from Windows Script Monitor or PowerShell Monitor.

You could have a look at our 'FileModified (vbscript)' template for inspiration.
