In most circumstances, File Existence Monitor can locate a file if the queried file is on the polling engine. However, the * wildcard may not work correctly and the queried file may not be found on a monitored node.
Ensure that the file path specification contains the variable for the IP address. When using this specification, you can use the * wildcard to check if the file exists.
For example, if you check the path D:\XLFRE_PRD\logs\java_pid4341.hprof , 4341 could be any number.
The correct file path specification to enter into the monitor would be:
\\${IP}\D$\XLFRE_PRD\logs\java_pid*.hprof
When you test the monitor to check if a file exists, make sure you are using the entire file name and the extension is NOT hidden from view in File Explorer.
