Explanation of Each Field

Each field to be set in the File Trigger Information is explained.

Trigger ID

ID to recognize the file to be monitored

Comment

Comment on the File Trigger Information

File Name

The name of the file to be monitored

Specify the name using the absolute path.

You can use asterisk (*) for the File Name. Entering asterisk (*) allows you to monitor more than one file at the same time.

Asterisk (*) can be used for the File Name, but not for the Directory Name. (Entry such as '/home/users/usr1/*testdata/test.txt' is not allowed.)

The File Name with asterisk (*), which exceeds 200 bytes in absolute path, is exempted from monitoring.
