File Content

The File Content monitor scans the specified files for a string pattern and can be used to scan log files for a known error string. It is intended for scanning text files such as logs, for example, and not binary files. For best performance, select as few files to scan as possible. Using regular expressions to specify filename and scan pattern can affect the monitor’s performance. It is imperative to create detailed regular expressions, specifically for specifying the scan pattern, in order to achieve the best results.

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