Generating an alarm when the permissions of a file change

You can configure the Product Short to generate an alarm when the permissions of the monitored file change.

Before you begin

You must be using the PATROL Central Operator - Windows Edition, PATROL Central Operator - Web Edition, or a PATROL Console in Developer mode. You can also add a text file to monitor by using the Product Short PATROL Configuration Manager plug-in as described in PATROL Agent Configuration Variables.

1. Access the LOGT application menu for the instance as described in Accessing Menu Commands, InfoBoxes, and Online Help.
2. Select Advanced Features > Configure Alarm.
3. In the Configure Alarm dialog box, select the Generate Alarm if file permissions are changed check box.
4. Click OK.

PATROL displays the LogFilePermissionStatus parameter in the console.
