How to monitor when a file has been read?

Votes:

0

I have tried by enablig auditing on the file and then creatin a WMI Even Log sensor, the problem is that I just need to monitor a specific file and not all the events with the same ID for all files. Can this be customized to check just for specific file events or so?

Hello,

does the event contain the filename, so that you could use the name as a filter-parameter in PRTGs Eventlog-Sensors?

Best Regards.

Hi, yes it contains a full path with the filename. How can I filter by filename with these filter-parameters:

Spike Filter Max. Value (#) Spike Filter Min. Value (#)

These seem to be the 'Channel'-Settings of the sensor. However, I was referring to the Settings, please see: PRTG Manual - WMI Event Log Sensor.
