RELATED IDEAS

Monitoring file or directory - Recursive, Counting only files

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

REF : https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=technologies-monitoring-file

Currently the probe counts the number of files in a specified folder . If there is a folder within the said folder , its being counted as a file

The Probe should have :

Capacity to count only files ( via a different condition name or a trigger )

Capacity to do recursive ( check folder and subfolders )

Capacity to list the files with or without full path

The Probe Should also Have :

Capacity to exclude folder and/or folders from search

Exclude filename starting by specified string ( mystring* ) , containing a string (*mystring* ) or ending by a specified string ( *mystring )

Specify the file name starting , containing or ending by a specified string ( mystring* , *mystring* , *string )

Should list each matches ( File path ) not just sole number

    This is not on the roadmap for the first half of 2025. It will be reevaluated afterward based on shifting priorities.

    If you think the idea has high business value and it's urgent please get in touch with the Scout team.

    appended the idea to add the requirement of seeing the matches ( filename with path ) as number is not enought
