4.5.2 File Existence
GFI Network Server Monitor can check for the existence of a particular file on a target computer
as well as search its contents for particular strings. This is particularly convenient when checking
for results of scheduled batch jobs and other logging information.

A File Existence function requires the following parameters:
» File (UNC Path) – Specify the path to the file which is to be checked in UNC format (e.g.
\\server\share\today_job_results.txt).
» Does not exist – Enable this option to check if the file exists. In this case, the check fails
if the specified file is found.
» Exists - Enable this option to check if the file exists. In this case, the check succeeds if
the specified file is found.
» File must contain …string – Enable this flag and specify the string to be searched for in
the existing file contents. In this case the check will succeed only if the file exists and
the specified string is present in the file contents.
4.5.3 Disk Space
GFI Network Server Monitor can check for free disk space on local and remote computers. Alerts
can be sent whenever hard disk space falls below a specified value in order for you to take
proactive actions before running out of disk space.
