Monitor file access

I'm looking to monitor a file or files in a folder. The files can be anything from a text file to a database. I'm specifically looking to see what users are accessing the file and time date stamps.

Hi there,

I'm afraid, auditing file or folders is not possible with PRTG, since it is focused on monitoring the infrastructure and not users. The File Sensor and Folder Sensor we provide simply monitors aspects like size, age and number of files in a folder.

Kind regards,
Birk Guttmann, Tech Support Team
