An error occurred while saving the comment The Rename event includes changes to extensions. Directory Monitor is already very good at detecting and reacting to changes made by ransomware.
Please refer to the following idea: https://deventerprise.uservoice.com/forums/198724-general/suggestions/32745115-cryptolocker-ransomware
You can also check out this blog entry showing you how to configure things to stop ransomware: https://moonly.eu/enhance-your-security-against-ransomware-with-directory-monitor/

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.
An error occurred while saving the comment Daniel has kindly shared an article on how to configure Directory Monitor for ransomware detection along with scripts to disable the shares to prevent them from spreading across the network: https://moonly.eu/enhance-your-security-against-ransomware-with-directory-monitor/
We'll be looking at adding pre-configurations for things like this and even a new turn-key plugin solution with more generic options to protect your servers/workstations.

An error occurred while saving the comment This ties in with the central configuration idea here: https://deventerprise.uservoice.com/forums/198724-general/suggestions/9962124-ability-to-manage-multiple-installs-in-one-locatio
This is certainly something we are looking at for an upcoming release. Network access to various machines internally or even over the internet is tricky given the typical installation environments of Directory Monitor and requires additional diligence around security which is the current challenge we face.
Global filters (or rather default filters) exist and can be applied from File -> Options -> Main. These will be added y default to new configuration and you can optionally apply them to existing configurations when you make changes to the defaults.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the suggestion. The Emailer currently has this as a means to be notified of events at a specific time. However, I don't see the major benefit in having it for Execute since you already have facilities like Windows Task Scheduler available that can perform this task. The Execute is reactive to the changes, I don't believe Directory Monitor should also be acting a scheduled application runner which provides no immediate benefit to the process of monitoring a directory. Please provide more information for your use case?

An error occurred while saving the comment There are really only three steps to using Growl.
1. Install Growl from http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/
2. Start Growl after installation.
3. Enable it with the default settings in Directory Monitor (File -> Options -> Growl).
Directory Monitor registers itself as a message sender, then you can configure how you want to see messages from the Growl interface. Default settings are applied automatically when you enable it so you don't have to do anything else after that.The SMS feature request is here: https://deventerprise.uservoice.com/forums/198724-general/suggestions/3914029-sms-plugin
So far no-one has voted to have SMS capabilities so this feature is low on the priority list. -

An error occurred while saving the comment We can consider exposing the MD5 since it's readily available but not being used/calculated. This will have to come with a warning that logging the MD5 will require considerable resources on very busy machines and when having to calculate on large file contents (4GB+).
The hash would be exposed through the grid and macros system so that it can be extracted in various plugins such as the text log, emailer and application executor. A new column will be added to the database schema to store the value (NULL by default) and an option to enable this per directory.
An error occurred while saving the comment Full file contents MD5 hash calculations where being done in the past to filter duplicate or synthetic events but performance degraded tenfold as well as creating unnecessary file locking and increased memory usage to read the contents (especially from large files).
Plugins can request the MD5 from each event if necessary but it not performed automatically and does not make it easier, not more accurate for tracking file changes. Unless you want the MD5 for the files exposed in the log/grid for your own interrogation and matching purposes?
To detect a "move" this would be necessary since a "delete" event would be too late to checksum the file before it gets to the destination. The overhead of hashing everything like this in case something moves is not worth the significant performance cost it incurs on the entire application.
Modifications and renames are already incredibly fast and accurate without the need for checksums. If you are having reliability problems of any kind then please let us know, this could more than likely be solved without having to perform costly checksums.

An error occurred while saving the comment POSTing is a relatively simple task to perform from the command-line and as such can easily be done through the Execute Applications plugin.
A user previously posted his sample of POSTing with cURL from a batch file although you could just as easily execute it directly. Perhaps this can help you out in the meantime?

An error occurred while saving the comment This is a great idea and falls into the Web View category as a whole.
Initially this will be a remotely managed web service and application that you can access over the internet. At each installation you simply provide your account details to make use of the secure web-based services. You can login to the portal to remotely administer your installations, view the logs etc.
We know that some customers want to store the data locally so in time an on-site solution will also become available. This will be a separate installation altogether from the monitoring application and will replicate the infrastructure necessary to provide this functionality on a local server within your own network.

An error occurred while saving the comment Internally this idea has already evolved into a full web interface and enterprise service for Directory Monitor. The web view will also have an aggregated log of all instances running against your account as well as reporting and alerting facilities (for things like downtime and errors).
This is unofficially being planned already so expect development to start quite soon.

An error occurred while saving the comment Additional translations are always welcome.
To get started you can download all the string resources here: http://directorymonitor.com/resources.zip
I recommend using a .NET resource editor such Zeta Resource Editor (http://www.zeta-resource-editor.com).

An error occurred while saving the comment If you need this functionality now you can use the Execute Plugin with a batch script to upload. Details of batch scripts that upload files to FTP can be found here: http://www.dostips.com/DtTipsFtpBatchScript.php
PowerShell is also a good option for something like this.If scripting is not your thing then the plugin for this will simply the process of uploading to FTP.

There is already an idea submission for a web view and this will be developed as part of v3 (https://deventerprise.uservoice.com/forums/198724-general/suggestions/3913319-web-view-plugin).
Please elaborate more on how you would imagine this will work with a telegram bot?
