File monitoring - dirscan probe - UIM - Scheduled job

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

The requirement is to check three files are generated or not at 12.30 AM every day and if not an alarm should trigger. 

We have a scheduled job to generate those files which runs at 12.20 AM and files are expected to generate at 12.30 AM.

 

I checked all the available options in Nimsoft but not getting any option where I can set the time as 23 hrs 20 or 30 minutes. You can only set 24 hrs in the default option. Can we customize the time and set as per our need. 

Basically we are looking for to monitor the age of the file.

Environment

Any UIM version

Resolution

The dirscan probe should solve this use case. 

It allows to look for files in a folder and alarm if newer or older than a certain amount of time (hours, minutes or seconds). 

It can also only check on a scheduled basis once a day if desired:
