Hi All, Wanted to monitor a folder. Conditions- 1)If folder is not updated for 30 mins, alert should be generated . 2)After alert is generated if the folder is updated in say next 10 mins the alert should auto resolve. Please suggest easiest way to perform the above task.

Hi. This is something for which you'll need a script. Use the FileSystemObject and the DateLastModified property to tell if the contents of the folder have changed. You can use it as a monitor so that the alert can auto resolve. If you search around for vbscripts and folder datelastmodified you should be able to find something.Layne

Hi You might want to check out the FileSystem Management Pack from SystemCenterCentral in your dev environment to see if it will do this (I can't remember off-hand): http://systemcentercentral.com/PackCatalog/PackCatalogDetails/tabid/145/indexid/13064/Default.aspx Otherwise, as Layne says, it is relatively straight forward to take a VBScript based upon the File System Object and incorporate it into a monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff629453.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ch28h2s7(v=VS.85).aspx Cheers GrahamView OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

Hi, I also think you can do this with a script. Regarding the FileSystemObject and DateLastModified Property, please refer to: FileSystemObject http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6kxy1a51(v=VS.85).aspx DateLastModified Property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c8xh895w(v=VS.85).aspx Meanwhile, I would like to share the following examples with you for your reference: Monitor file and directory size http://contoso.se/blog/?p=127 SCOM 2007 Script to Monitor File Count inside a Directory http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2007-script-to-monitor-file-count-inside-a-directory/ Please Note: Since the websites are not hosted by Microsoft, the links may change without notice.
