I am creating a first time use of a log file monitor. The server is monitored otherwise, but first time trying this specific monitor and have been awaiting to do so. I used the Log File Source as both \servernamefolder*.ext or c:folder etc., I have entered my Match: "filter words" appropriately and when I click "Test" - I always receive "No files can be found that match the search criteria. Continue anyway?" mesaage box. I purposely put in a test log file with those exact words in it to test it and it will return that message no matter what. My logs are all appendable, so I took out the filter and put in a word every log in the directory would have and it still came up with "No files can be found... What do I not have enabled or might have overlooked? I chose the appropriate character encodings. |

Terri - Can you send me a screenshot of your log file monitor settings? Also, a screenshot of the location of where the files are located would be helpful. support@poweradmin.com Thanks Please make sure to mark your questions accepted when you have your answer by clicking the gray check mark to the left of the answer. I have used in my path \servernamefolder*.ext and C:folder*.ext and Quinn sent a response suggesting that I try using the following: \servernameC$folder*.ext and add the admin drive share reference in the path. Upon doing so and testing, I now receive "2 matches have been found in file [filename]" It then lists the references to which my text was found. That is exactly what I have hope to have retrieved from the results. Perfect! So for anyone else looking, what assisted me on this was by adding C$ in my filepath reference. Thanks, Quinn!
