Monitoring file/directory creation/deletion in MOM

  • Article

If you want to monitor file/directory creation or deletion you can create a custom WMI provider for that. Example:

SELECT * FROM __InstanceDeletionEvent

WITHIN 60

WHERE TargetInstance ISA ‘CIM_DirectoryContainsFile’

AND TargetInstance.GroupComponent = ‘Win32_Directory.Name=”C:\\\\Temp\\\\”’
