The files and folders can be monitored both locally and remotely.
For Local Node:
Path for file or folder on NetCrunch node can be written in the format:
C:\NameOfFolder\NameOfFile
Example:
If there is a folder named "test" and it contains a file named "test.txt" on the C: drive, the sensor path to that folder should look like:
C:\test\test.txt
Please take note that this format can be used only on the local NetCrunch server node.
For Remote Node:
To allow NetCrunch to monitor folders and files remotely, the file or folder should be shared with read access.
Example:
After sharing, create a sensor on that node. Path to monitor this file should look like:
RemoteTest\RemoteTest.txt
Please take note that this path shouldn't look like "Network Path"
(for instance \VM-TEST-087\RemoteTest) which is displayed in Windows after sharing.
