Finding Smat files in Global Monitor

[Karl Garen]

Hi all,

Taking Global monitor out for a test drive just after installing.  Is there a way to access SMAT files that are in a different location outside of a given site.  I know about the option to limit files to a given site, but I don’t see a way to access a directory outside of a given site, short of perhaps setting up a symbolic link (which may be messy).  Thanks

GM 5.0 will find all SMAT that is under $HCIROOT but be careful. GM creates “smatindexes” that can grow pretty large depending on the amount of SMAT you have on your server. These indexes aid the speedy search of the actual SMAT files. GM will not clean up the SMAT indexes that are found outside of the site directories. That is to say that if you move/delete SMAT files from those “outside” directories, the index files that are created by GM will need to be manually deleted. This cleanup can be automated by creating scripts to sync up those directories.

Hope that helps.
