I'm trying to set up a test to check for the existence of certain directories on windows. We have automated transfers that run but our users sometimes delete or move the directories by mistake causing the transfers to fail.
I've configured client-local.cfg and analysis.cfg and the test is working, however if the directory is empty it alerts at yellow and says
"Could not determine size of directory E:\dirtest"
I'd like to either fix it so that it correctly recognises the directory exists or stop the yellow alert somehow,
I thought of perhaps using "delayyellow=file:10000000 which would give me about 20 years before it would turn yellow but this is not ideal.
You could create a small hidden file in the folder - then it's never empty.
