File Properties

The File Properties monitor checks to see if a file in a local folder or on a network share meets the conditions specified in the monitor's configuration. This monitor supports percent variables (%Device.Address or %Device.HostName) allowing you to use a macro for applying multiple devices to a monitor.

Note: The File Properties monitor only checks files in folders local to a device on which WhatsUp Gold is installed or files in network shares accessible from the WhatsUp Gold device.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

Warning: Selecting this option can greatly increase the amount of time it takes to complete the monitor scan and degrade or lag WhatsUp Gold performance. The probability of lengthy monitor scans and slower performance increases when you use algorithms other than SHA1 when you are scanning large files or when you scan files located on network shares.
