Directory Monitoring

Directory monitoring in Tombolo enables tracking of files within the HPCC cluster, covering both Logical Files and Landing Zone Files. For logical files, you can monitor attributes like size, type, compression status, deletion, and protection status. For landing zone files, you can track file movement, appearance, and sizes, ensuring efficient management and visibility of your data
