Manual Configuring GFI Network Server Monitor |23
3.4.2 Configure check (functional) parameters
The check functional parameters are the test settings that define the role of a monitoring check
(i.e., each type of monitoring check requires its own configuration settings and parameters). For
further information on functional parameter setups, please refer to the Configuring monitor
functions chapter in this manual.
Example: Configuring the functional parameters of a File Existence check.
GFI Network Server Monitor can check for the existence of a file. In this example, the monitoring
check will be setup to look for a file called „status.txt‟.

1. Right click on the check to be configured and select „Properties‟. By default the check
properties dialog will open in the „General‟ tab.
2. Click on the „Check Parameters‟ Tab and specify the following parameters:
» File (UNC Path) – The path to the file in UNC format (e.g. \\machine\monitor\status.txt)
that needs to be checked.
» Exists - Enable the „Exist‟ option to specify that this check must find the specified file to
be successful.
» File must contain…. – Enable this option and specify the string that must be present in
the file in order for the check to be successful (e.g. „transfer was successful‟).
3. Click on „Apply‟ to accept the current configuration.
3.4.3 Define logon credentials
The logon credentials are the (logon) authentication details which a monitoring check requires
to connect to a target computer.
