The files and folders can be monitored both on local machine and remotely.
For Local Node:
Path for file or folder on NetCrunch node can be written in format:
C:\NameOfFolder\NameOfFile
Example:
If there is folder named "test" and it contains file named "test.txt" on C: drive, sensor path to that folder should look like:
C:\test\test.txt
Please take note that this format can be used only on local NetCrunch server node.
For Remote Node:
To allow monitoring folder and files remotely by NetCrunch that file or folders should be shared with possibility to read it.
Example:
After sharing, create 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.
