just a short question regading folder/file availability test.
i set up a test which checks a folder for files with the extension *.fault.
the email (when the test goes bad) should contain the filename(s) matching *.fault. how do i do that?
Is it possible to check only for new files (new since the last test run) with a certain extension within a directory? When I use "Folder/File availability" the test goes bad, when the first file with *.fault is found and then remains bad.
I cannot use the "older/newer than" options because the *.fault files are being created sporadically.
We have an application which works with *.job files, these files are all stored within one folder. Sometimes a *.job file is damaged, the application then renames the *.job' to '*.job.fault'.
i want to create a test which checks the folder for new '*.job.fault' files, e.g. the test runs and three '*.job.fault' are in the folder, there will be an alert.
when the test runs again and no new '*.job.fault' (but the three old ones) are in the folder, the test's status should be 'good'.
but when the test runs again and a new (the three old ones are still also in the folder) *.job.fault is found, there should be an alert again.
I think you may use Count Files test method. Use the following options
- "Count files newer than N min" where N should be equivalent to test interval.
- Alert when folder contains more than 0 files
Note: you will not be able to use %FileName% variable then
