Start monitoring Host running Net-SNMP agent (directory monitoring extension) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DIRECTORY-MONITOR-MIB::numFiles OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Host running Net-SNMP agent (directory monitoring extension) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Host running Net-SNMP agent (directory monitoring extension) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type numFiles into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of files in monitored directory. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count changes from its expected baseline, since that would indicate the underlying set of items changed unexpectedly. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
