What is numDirectories?
This read-only value reports the number of subdirectories found in the currently monitored directory. An admin polls this alongside numFiles to get a quick census of a watched directory's contents, useful for detecting unexpected structural changes such as directories being added or removed unexpectedly. For example, numDirectories jumping from 3 to 15 overnight in a monitored upload folder could indicate an automated process is creating unexpected subdirectories.
