ActiveXperts solution to monitor file existence, file size, file content

ActiveXperts Network Monitor can monitor file existence, file size and file content. This is particularly useful in situation where log files need to be analyzed. In many organizations, batch jobs run at night and produce logging information; ActiveXperts Network Monitor can check this logging information and analyze it. It can check the existence, or search for patterns. It can also check the size of a file.

A File Existence check requires the following parameters:

  • File (UNC Path) - The path of the file to be checked in UNC format (i.e. \\server\share\... syntax);
  • Check for: Existence only / Maximum Size / Pattern - Choose an option: just checks the existence, or check the size of a file (in KB), or search for a pattern in the file;
  • If condition should be True/False - If the file conditions are true, then the result of the check is: success; otherwise, the result will be: error;
  • Credentials - Select alternate Windows credentials if necessary.
