Hi,
I'm syncing a bunch of directories on a daily basis : a number of FFS jobs has been set up as Batch and are being executed by Windows Scheduled Tasks.
Now the question is how can we monitor this ?
We have PRTG deployed, which is quite powerful. I'd like PRTG to check the result/time of the last filesync operation.
Note that in some cases there may be no new files to sync, and so FFS exits successfully without actually syncing files..
any advice ? any best practices ?
Thanks

I noticed that when there are problems, FFS changes the name of the logfile.
I see some logfiles containing [Waarschuwing] (dutch for Warning) or [Fout] (dutch for Error).
So I could have PRTG look for any logfiles containing those textstrings.
I know that PRTG can monitor existence of files, but I don't think it's possible to have it look for files matching a wildcard pattern, eg *[Fout].log
