Using MonitorMagic
To add a new file monitor, open the Specify file monitor window and press the Add button.
In the window shown, you can specify the path specification of the file monitor. The window
contains the following fields:
File path
The full path to the files you want to monitor. The file path can contain wildcards (* and ?). The file
path can start with a logical drive or share specification:
Logical drive path: Example: D:\Logs\SqlServer\*.*. In this case, the computer on
which the files reside must run the MonitorMagic service. Thus file monitors
specified using logical drives can only be local to the MonitorMagic service.
Share path: Example: \\SERVER_A\Logs\SqlServer\*.*. In this case the specification
start with a computer name (\\SERVER_A), followed by a share (Logs) and additional
directory and file specification. In this case, the share must exist and you can monitor
remote files.
Keywords, Insert
Use the list with keywords to ease the specification of the file path. The supported keywords are:
%SystemRoot%: The Windows 2000/XP/NT operating system root directory of the target
computer.
%SystemRoot%\System: The Windows 2000/XP/NT system directory of the target
computer.
%SystemRoot%\System32: The Windows 2000/XP/NT system32 directory of the target
computer.
\\TARGET_COMPUTER\: The computer name of the target computer.
When a keyword is selected, press the Insert button to insert the selected keyword at the current
File path specification position.
