Alert if File is greater than x and exists

Could you add the posibility to only go bad if the named resource exists?

For now I use

"use Normal Status if": '%SuggestedReply%'=='RMA: 301 - Folder/File doesn`t exist'

as workaround.

Are we talking about File/Folder Size test method?
Then it works in the way you want. HostMonitor does not set Bad status when file/folder does not exist. HostMonitor sets Unknown status.
How to process Unknown status is up to you. E.g. you may unmark "Treat Unknown status as Bad" option.

Also you may use Count Files test method
- count files bigger than N;
- alert when folder contains more than 0 files

Hello Alex,

Yes I am talking about "File/Folder Size" test method.

Unknown status is no solution for me. I have enough VBScript tests which turn to unknown fairly often. I'll stick with my workaround.
