This app reports the number, file size, names and dates about items in a directory (or folder) at specified intervals. It does this by outputting a JSON-file through the outgoing connection. The JSON is also attached to the file as a dataset and has a private data key with the number of items from the directory (or folder).
Use cases include monitoring a directory (or folder) when it becomes empty. Perhaps you have a significant workload and want to be notified when it has been processed. Alternatively, you may need to monitor if a folder becomes filled with files beyond a certain threshold (number of file size); for instance, if a process crashes and the files waiting in the input folder keeps accumulating.
With this app, you can set up monitoring by sorting the JSON-file based on the number of items in the folder and triggering an email or other actions based on the log.
Hello,
Nice App, congratulations :-)
A nice & friendly feature could be the ability of exluding some folders to be processed, driven by Variables, patterns, RegEx….
