Hello to everybody,

i have a problem with sensor folder, i have one folder where i write daily logs file one every day and i want check the older file that not to be major of one day. The problem that i have seen is if i have one file in the folder the sensor read correct and go well, but when the procedure write the secondo log file, the sensor go in error.

I have try move the first log file to in another position and the sensor go well, seems that the sensor work well with only one file.

There is a solution for use the folder sensor with more file?

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you very much for your support ticket. You can achieve this, by setting an error limit on the "Newest File"-Channel of the Folder Sensor. Set the limit to one day, and the sensor will alert you, if no new logfile has been written in the last day. Be aware though, that the limit needs to be entered in seconds.

best regards.
