A user asked if it is possible to monitor file count on a specific server and send an email if the limit is exceeded through ControlUp. The reply suggested using a scheduled trigger and creating a script for the file count, which could then generate a windows event for a subsequent trigger to respond to.

Hi all, I have the requirement to create a trigger which monitors the number of files in a folder on a specific server and sends an email if a limit value is exceeded. Are there any possibilities with CU?
we don’t do file counts but you could use a scheduled trigger to get file count and if it’s over your threshold generate a windows event that a follow up trigger could respond to.
Okay, thanks. But where can I find a "file count" in a scheduled trigger? Is there an appropriate filter?
no you need to create a script that does the file count for you and use a scheduled trigger to run that script.
