I don't care about the contents, I just want to check if it is still available.</P> <P>Is there a way I can do this through Splunk?<BR /> I was considering just creating a file in one of the folders and monitoring the file?</P> <P>Just looking for input from people who have perhaps done this before.</P> <P>Cheers.</P> Mon, 01 Apr 2019 10:00:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Monitor-if-folder-is-available/m-p/386094#M172127 FraserC1 2019-04-01T10:00:41Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Monitor-if-folder-is-available/m-p/386095#M172128 <P>You could go with your idea of generating a test file, say every 1 hour and monitoring it or you can also use add-ons like <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2776/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2776/</A></P> Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:23:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Monitor-if-folder-is-available/m-p/386095#M172128 lakshman239 2019-04-01T13:23:48Z
