A Functional Folder Monitoring Tool...

"All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me"
      -Elvis Presley

What it does

  • Monitors specified directories across any-sized network for file-related events
  • Throws easily-seen visual alerts in real-time when specified breaches occur (like when a folder exceeds a certain amount of files)
  • Can automatically open offending directories
  • Suggested use is to run it on a machine with a large, highly visible display

Behold! The FolderMonitoringTool...

Set up

The FolderMonitoringTool.exe knows which folders to monitor by reading the paths specified in the paths.txt file.

  • The paths.txt file must reside in the same directory / folder that the FolderMonitoringTool.exe is ran from
  • Click the events tab to manages thresholds to be watched for
  • placeholder

*This program enables automation. System administrators should weigh heavily the consequences such a powerful tool can bring about, lest their own roles become obsolete

**Support technicians should have confirmed plans in place to move to a country that supports a living wage before releasing to production

***It is strongly encouraged that an air of perceived complexity be invoked during set-up. To maintain this illusion, please use an overly-complicated batch script to output the simple .txt that contains the paths of the directories to be monitored

****Once downloaded, delete this page from your browser history

*****Please send your thoughts, gripes, and / or suggestions to ultrapolite@gmail.com Thanks!
