We have several text files ; ideally I need to check the contents and raise alerts if I need. I know PRTG monitors windows event logs ; is there any way to monitor a text file ?

Hello,

yes this is possible with the Custom Sensor LogfileReader from our PRTG User Gerard Feijth.

While the Logfile Reader Custom Sensor seems not available anymore, please try using our own File Content Sensor to achieve your goal. It should have a very similar functionality.
