You can set up OpenEdge Management to monitor a file resource in the following ways:
File size — Examines the file size and triggers an alert if the file size is less than, greater than, equal to, or not equal to a size you specify. You can specify the size in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes.
File existence — Checks to see if the file exists or not. You can choose the condition under which an alert will be generated—for example, if the file does not exist after two polls. You also choose the specific action you want performed if the file is older than the number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days you specify.
File growth rate — Examines the file size and generate an alert based on a size change for a particular period of time. For example, you might specify that OpenEdge Management generate an alert if the file growth exceeds 100 megabytes per day.
File modification — Examines the file data and determines if the file has been modified. You can specify that OpenEdge Management generate an alert if there is evidence that the file has been modified, because either the timestamp has changed or the timestamp and size of the file have both changed.
Before you can set up a file resource monitor, you must ensure that OpenEdge Management can see your mapped network drives.
File size — Examines the file size and triggers an alert if the file size is less than, greater than, equal to, or not equal to a size you specify. You can specify the size in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes.
