I need to monitor a couple of folders to make sure that they are in sync across 2 different servers. i.e.
Server1\somefolder should have the same files as
server2\somefolder.

I know I could write a powershell script or a custom app to do this but I wanted to see if there was a better solution before I start from scratch.

Hi,
I'm afraid there is no native sensor for this in PRTG. Sorry. You might have a look at the following article introducing a vbs script for the monitoring of Distributed File Systems which does basically write a file to two machines and then check whether it is available.
Best regards

I figured that was the case. I don't think your suggestion is really what I want though. In my case the files are created by an outside process and my user needs to know when a file exists without a corresponding "mate" in the other folder.

Then, I'm afraid you will have to write your own script. Sorry.
