Real-time events
Creations, modifications, renames and deletions detected recursively across the whole folder.
Monitoring
Monitoring
The Monitoring module keeps an eye on a folder and shows you, as they happen, file creations, modifications, moves and deletions — with the SHA-256 hash of created or modified files.
What it does
What the Monitoring module does
On-the-fly hash
For creations and modifications it computes the file's SHA-256 (up to 256 MiB).
Live log
Each event appears at the top with time, colored type, file name and hash; up to 1000 entries.
Step by step
How it works
- Pick a folder and start monitoring.
- Probatio watches the filesystem and, on each event, updates the live log.
- Stopping the monitor releases the watch.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which events does monitoring detect?
Creations, modifications, renames and deletions, detected recursively across the whole watched folder.
Does it hash the monitored files?
Yes, the SHA-256 of created or modified files (up to 256 MiB); deletions have no file to hash.
Are the events saved?
The log is shown live in memory (up to 1000 events); for a persistent catalog use the Inventory module.
