Hello,
Is it possible to monitor the size of a specific folder on a Windows host system using the Microsoft Platform connector?
Thank you,
Laszlo
Hi Laszlo,
The Microsoft Platform connector focuses on system-level metrics available via Windows APIs/WMI/PerfMon (CPU, memory, services, disks, network, etc.). It can monitor disk/volume free space (e.g., LogicalDisk counters), but it does not expose folder-level measurements like “size of C:\Data\Ingest.”
You could consider using Generic Folder Monitor | Catalog | dataminer.services. This driver is able to monitor the files of a specific folder. It has a File Size column in the Folders table.
Kind Regards,
Jarno
Hi Laszlo,
Currently it is not possible to monitor size of directories in the Microsoft Platform connector. Having a look at similar questions, I found the following one:
Do we have a connector that can monitor folder size?
However, the connector suggested in the answer only allows you to monitor files inside a folder, and not the folder size. A possible option is to request a new feature in the connector Generic Folder Monitor to allow folder size monitoring.
Hope it helps.
