Dear experts and gurus,
I am rather new at solman. I was tasked to create file monitoring in Solman. Here is my question :
File Monitoring :
1) Monitoring Creation time of file :
Background : I am moniitoring a file created for an outbound interface. A file will be created in the /out folder for a few minutes and then automatically transfer to the /archive folder. I am setting up a monitoring process to see whether the file has been delayed.
Monitoring at /out folder : Problem is the file only exist for a few minutes in the /out folder . I have set up a process to monitor it every 5 minutes but I think the gap is still too big . So it always report as a red alert although a file has arrived and been transferred.
Monitoring at /archive folder : Problem is, in the archive folder , there are already lots of files in the folder with similar file name but with an extension of the timestamp ( eg. fileServer.txt_20110810220045 ) . I do not think Solman has the functionality to automatically detect delta files ( new files ). So everytime solman goes to read the /archive folder , it did not raise any alert since it is reading old files ( hence, no delay ) . The filtering criteria in Solman is also not flexible/dynamic enough for me to differentiate new incoming files. ( cant put a dynamic variant to only look for file name with new dates )
Is there any workaround to achieve file monitoring for the above scenario ?
Or am I doing the wrong approach ?
i do not have monitoring set up at the other box .
Thanks everyone!
