Powershell Script conversion?

garetjax67

Okay, let me open this with I am not much of a scripter and am rather new to NPM/APM.

I have this process that generates files and occasionally goes wrong and just starts generating hundreds of files.  In my old monitoring solution I ran a simple powershell script that looked at the directory and would alert me if the number of new files per last hour exceeded X.  The other gotcha is the path changes monthly. i.e. c:\dir\dir\yyyyMM.

Here is the working powershell script (don't laugh I am not much of a scripter):

$mypath = $args[0]
$folder = get-date -format yyyyMM
$count = (Get-ChildItem "$mypath\$folder" | where-object {$_.lastwritetime -gt (get-date).Addhours(-1)}).count
#Write-Host "Count: $count"
exit $count

Is there a way to get this functionality in NPM/APM?  The variable path and last hour functions seems to exclude the built in filecount script.  Any help/suggestions would be great.

Hello Jeff,
you can rewrite this PS script into VB script which should be quite straightforward and then use it in Windows Script Monitor. Look at File Count monitor. You just need to add dynamic path logic and then test files write time.

Or you can wait for APM 4.0 that has direct PowerShell scripts support.
