Hi!

There is a separate section in manual dedicated to data collection: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/data-collection.html. Please read it first and feel free to ask any specific questions not covered in the manual.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi!

For generic step by step instruction on configuring data collection and notification, you can read this tutorial: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/How_to_send_e-mail_notification_when_disk_space_is_low. You only will need to change parameter you are monitoring. For monitoring new files in directory, you can use parameter File.Count, like this:

File.Count(/tmp)

will get total number of files in /tmp directory. If you need count files by mask, you can add pattern as second argument, like this:

File.Count(/tmp,ssh*)

will get number of files with names starting with "ssh" in /tmp directory.
