The FileModified script allows you to watch a file to make sure it has not changed since the last time it was monitored. The script compares both the size of the file and the last-modified date to a state file that is generated as a baseline. The file size in bytes is returned as a statistic, allowing you to set thresholds and alerts on the file size.
This script requires temporary storage space to store the state file. To reset the status of the component after a file modification has been detected, you must manually delete the .statefile. Deleting the .statefile allows the script to generate a new baseline for future file comparisons.
