How can we improve Directory Monitor?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. SMS Plugin

    A plugin that can send the event information as an SMS to configured mobile numbers.

    Could use a service like CardboardFish (http://www.cardboardfish.com/) to send the SMS. Are there any other services available like this?

  3. More event time accurancy

    There is only hh.mm.ss. I have to know exact time (milliseconds or nanoseconds) for order rows in the grid.
    Also column "ID" with incrementing number will bee very useful for the grid sort.

  4. Support for Novell and non-Windows/Samba shares.

    Directory Monitor will only be able to detect changes in shares that are running a Windows-based operating system or use emulated Windows shares such as Samba (SMB). Because of this, no changes will appear when motioning shares that are exposed through various other protocols such as NFS.

    To overcome this a polling mechanism could be put in place (the snapshot feature does this already), which will periodically take a snapshot of a share's contents and try determine the changes from the previous one.

    This technique is somewhat unreliable depending on the latency of taking the snapshot and you would lose…

    under review  ·  AdminWerner van Deventer (CEO / Founder, DevEnterprise.NET) responded

    This is a very common use case for a lot of users. The actions that users take however varies quite a bit based on their own requirements. Some people configure firewall rules, some run removal tools, some shut-down the PC etc, in almost all cases and email is sent. For us to provide this configuration and necessary filters out -of-the-box would require a significant investment in continued research of crypto malware in order to keep monitoring effective.

    That being said, we may still pursue this because when configured correctly, Directory Monitor is very effective as an early detection system for crypto viruses and has already been successful in numerous live installations. With enough support for this idea we may take this on.

  7. Trigger repeatedly for a new file

    The option for a Monitor to trigger repeatedly when a matching file is present. Right now, DirectorMonitor only triggers once for a new file, but I'd like to have the option for it to keep triggering until that file is gone.

  9. Here's a hint you can give on your website...

    I needed to POST to my server every time a file changed so my server could react RIGHT away....

    I set the program to execute a batch file with the following code...
    ECHO OFF
    ECHO POSTING...
    curl -F "1=%~1" -F "2=%~2" "http://example.com/api/fileevent.php"
    PAUSE

    It worked brilliantly..
    Just add curl to the directory of the bat file
    http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=win64-ssl-sspi

  14. Cryptolocker / ransomware

    Hello there, I'm a very happer user of your product, I generally do not use it for anything else but trying to catch a cryptolocker / ransomware in the act.

    I believe I have configured it so it works very well,

    my biggest "issue" is that because I have the software looking at so many servers / pc's it takes forever to edit each job, Could it be possible if that you create a template, let's say a group. a group called "ransomware" and then inside the job under Main -> Filters instead of typing in each Include patterns that…

  18. Provide a self contained reporting website

    Have a website reporter that can report using database entries created by the application. Essentially, it would search the data based on a drop down of users, calendar dates, event types. Be nice if it could then export the results to excel and/or a pdf. This would be a simple self contained website you could drop to an IIS server.
