Folder sensor

Hello,

Thank you for the KB-Post. I'm afraid indeed, as of now this can only be solved with a script running as a custom sensor. I'll forward the improvement request to our dev team though.

best regards.

Well thank you for this last answer.

I already spent hours to setup "Folder sensor" :-( I'll try for antoher case and I probably swtich later to this sensor if it works as expected.

As NetworkFileCount is a custom script, I prefered use my own. Really simple, do exactly what I need and no more. Can be easily modified to suit your needs.

Get-ChildItem by default does not return hidden file.

param(
	[string]$computerName,
	[string]$p_folderToCheck
)

$session = New-PSSession -computerName $computerName -Authentication Kerberos 

$scriptBlock = {
	param(
		$p_folderToCheck
	)
    $fileCount = gci -File $p_folderToCheck
	$fileCount = $fileCount.count

    $result= "<?xml version=`"1.0`" encoding=`"Windows-1252`" ?>`r`n"
    $result+="<prtg>`r`n"
	
    $result+="   <result>`r`n"   
    $result+="   	<channel>Nb fichier</channel>`r`n"
	$result+="      <Unit>count</Unit>`r`n"		
    $result+="      <value>$fileCount</value>`r`n"
    $result+="   </result>`r`n"

    $result+="   <text>OK</text>`r`n"
    $result+="</prtg>`r`n"
    $result
}

Invoke-Command -computerName $computername -scriptBlock $scriptBlock -ArgumentList $p_folderToCheck
