In the operation of a server, directories or folders in the filesystem play a crucial role.
Not only do they store important data, these folders may also contain a large number of data or log files due to application system requirements.
When the application system cannot effectively manage these files, it may significantly impact server performance and even affect the normal operation of applications.


Key reasons for monitoring 【File Quantity】 include:
➢ Prevent system alarms caused by exceeding the maximum file count limit of a directory or folder.
➢ Collect data to adjust system architecture by monitoring I/O performance.
➢ Detect abnormal file writing behavior of application system programs.
➢ Analyze the processing capacity of application system programs.
➢ Check if application system programs are failing or crashing.

When an abnormal 【File Quantity】 is detected, the WATCHDOG system will immediately issue an alert and initiate response mechanisms to enhance overall system protection performance.

System Specifications for Monitoring 【File Quantity】 include:
➢ Detection Purpose: Regularly check the number of files in a folder to ensure moderate quantity, avoiding too few or too many that could affect system operation.
➢ Monitoring Target: Specifically designated folder location.
➢ Alarm Conditions: Set minimum and maximum file quantity thresholds.
➢ Real-Time Information: Provide data updates and alert notifications.
➢ Information Collection: Include messages, data, and timestamps for alert issuance or resolution.
➢ Emergency Response: Issue notifications and execute predefined response measures when alarm conditions are met.
➢ Alarm Threshold: Set alarm thresholds based on service characteristics, including minimum and maximum file quantity limits within folders or for specific files.
