NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

We have an old Windows 2000 Server which hosts a lot of shared files but it is currently slowly dieing. Once a week or so, it stops serving access to these files until we reboot it.

Whilst we try and work out a way of moving all the files elsewhere, is there anything I can do with NetXMS to check whether it can access a file on this server and create an alert if it can't?

Hi!

You can use File.Count parameter on remote agent and set a threshold on data collection error. For example, if you have mapped problematic server's share on disk S:, you can add parameter File.Count(S:\) and detect collection errors.

Best regards,
Victor

Many thanks for the swift response - I will give it a go although the agent did crash when I tried to install it on the server
