Hi,<br />
I am trying to find out how to get Nagios to monitor a directory on a Windows server and alert if a particular file appears there. &nbsp;I need it to continue to alert until some removes the file.<br />
<br />
What I've looked at so far is either over complicated, or linux only. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'd be grateful for advice on the best way to achieve this.<br />
