Files Exist

Sounds like a powershell script that hits a UNC on the network (i.e., \\systemname\path\to\files) and then runs through the logic you're talking about.  If you give me more details I can hack something up for you.

I have several files in \\hercules100\shared which are use pdf and imp extension.  And really want to how new files have been created on that work day

Here's some PoSH that would do the trick.  Though now I realize this is the ipMonitor forum and not Server & Application Monitor.  Whoops!  You might still be able to make use of it; I know nothing about ipMonitor.

# get all the new files in that path that end in pdf or imp that were created today

$total_new_files = (Get-ChildItem "\\hercules100\shared\*" -Include ('*.pdf','*.imp') | ?{ $_.CreationTime.Day -eq (Get-Date).Day} | Group-Object).Count

    Where would you put this script normally

You could run it from any system that has access to that path.  It would give you the total number of new files.  In ipMonitor, I have no idea.  I write these scripts for SolarWinds's Server & Application Monitor product.
