Second, you have syntax errors in recursion and size parameters - you should use only digits here. So, parameter should looks like

File.Count('C:\Temp', 'SAS*.txt', 1, 0, 90)

to count number of files older than 90 seconds.

Then, threshold by itself looks correct, but did you create appropriate rule in event processing policy?

Also, take a look at this step-by-step configuration example: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/confexample/. It's quite old, and screens  will look a bit different, but you should get an idea.

Best regards,
Victor

As per your suggestions i have created txt file monitoring by parameter as 'Temp\','SAS*.txt',true,>0,90 And threshold screen shot is attached. Today what i have observed is there is one file sit from 2 days but i didn't get alarm and i have created totally 5 DCIs all are connected to SYS_THRESHOLD_REACHED. But When ever the process down i am getting only Java process Alarm Remaining are not. Please advise me and confirm me like we have to choose different Threshold for every DCI.

Thanks,
JP

Great help, how ever i am looking for Error in Tomcat log file. basically tomcat will write the log on console. I have tried with several agents but no luck. Could you please don't hesitate to assist me.

And i am not able to understand threshold theory, i have gone through the user manual and google search too. If you have any information on the same please help me.

Thanks,
JP.

Yo can use File.Count parameter. Full syntax is following:

File.Count(path, pattern, recursive, size, age)

where

path path to directory or file to check
pattern pattern for file name matching
recursive recursion flag; if set to 1 or true, agent will scan subdirectories
size size filter (bytes); if < 0, only files with size less than abs(value) will match; if > 0, only files with size greater than value will match; if 0, all files will match
age age filter (seconds); if < 0, only files created after now - abs(value) will match; if > 0, only files created before now - value will match; if 0, all files will match

path argument is mandatory, all other are optional.

So, to count number of .txt files older than 15 minutes in c:\tmp, you can use

File.Count('C:\tmp', '*.txt', 0, 0, 900)

And after that you just need to set threshold for this parameter to >0, generate appropriate event, and process it as usual.

Best regards,
Victor
