Monitors Pro Lite
PA File Sight  monitors file access, creation and file deletesFile Sight Monitor

The File Sight monitor watches real time file access by users and programs. You can configure which files it watches, and how you are notified when a particular action (file read, write, delete, etc) occurs. The Pro version also lets you record the file access actions and run reports on past data (by user, by file, by file action, etc).

NOTE: This monitor ONLY works on the local computer. Watching files on remote computers requires that PA File Sight be installed on the remote computers.

   
Actions Pro Lite

Sends SMTP email messages to mail boxes, cell phones, mobile devices, etc. The E-mail action has Alert Digests which are a powerful/friendly feature that combines multiple alerts that happen within a short time into a single email notification. This can be very helpful when something goes really wrong. You can easily specify when messages should be sent or suppressed.

Send SMS text messages to your mobile device via your service providers SMS Internet gateway (SMPP server). You can control which information gets sent, as well as when messages are allowed.

Similar to the Execute Script monitor, this Action lets you extend the list of available actions via your own script written in VBScript. Many variables from the source monitor are also available for creating rich, situation-specific responses.

Write to Log File

Log the findings of any triggered monitor to a file. Separate files can be created for each day, week, month, etc.

Other Features Pro Lite
Runs as a service

PA File Sight is composed of a console that you interact with, and a system service that is started when the computer boots up and is always running in the background.

Maintenance Schedule

While a computer is in maintenance mode, PA File Sight won't run monitors. It will turn itself back on automatically after the maintenance window expires if you forget to.

Configuration and Monitoring Security

Using system alerts, you can get a configuration how you like it and then enable Security Alerts. These alerts will tell you anytime something happens that would affect the system's ability to monitor. For example, stopping the service, putting a server into maintenance mode, changing configuration settings, etc. You can also set a password on the configuration application.

Console Lock

Lock the PA File Sight Console to keep anyone from purposely or accidentally changing the configuration (great for consultants)
