Directories Monitor

Purpose

The Directories Monitor observes a folder for new subdirectories being created directly within it. This engine exports Directory instances, which are a representation of all files and folders contained within a subdirectory, and operations will be expected to process the entire directory structure contained within.

Options

• Monitored Directory: the directory that will be monitored by the engine.

The following options are availabled when clicking the Advanced Settings button:

• Process existing directories in target directory: turn this option on to add existing directories (with status Saved) to the queue manager before launching Watchdog.
• Allowed filename patterns: enter a comma separated list of patterns containing wildcards to only consider files matching them.
• Ignored filename patterns: enter a comma separated list of patterns containing wildcards to exclude files that do not match them.
• Allowed directory patterns: enter a comma separated list of patterns containing wildcards to only consider those directories matching them.
• Ignored directory patterns: enter a comma separated list of patterns containing wildcards to exclude directories that do not match them.
