File/Directory Size Monitor

The File/Directory Size Monitor is designed to watch an individual file, a set of files, or an individual directory and execute actions (such as notifying you) if it grows too large.

To specify what should be watched, first choose a starting directory.  If you are watching remote files/directories, it is important to remember that the monitoring service will most likely not have access to shared drives, so use UNC paths.

Next you select whether a directory, directory with its child sub-directories, or a one or more files should be watched.  To watch multiple files, use standard wild cards (ex: *.db for instance).

Last you choose the growth conditions that should trigger the configured actions.  They can include growth beyond a pre-set limit, or growth of a certain amount from one scan to the next.
