Hi,

Is it possible to write a subscription to monitor a folder in C drive or any local drive?

Eg: I have a folder in C drive inside which there is no file. If there I put any file inside that folder my subscription should work and trigger another service in my ThingWorx. Or if I make any changes to the file in that folder and save it, I want my subscription to get triggered. 

 

I know I can trigger a data change in kepware using subscription but is it possible to do it using local drive?

 

Please provide me some help

 

Thanks,

V Shalini.

Out of the box not, but You can use the Edge SDK or the Edge Microserver to build a service which keeps track of the folder and throws a remove event accordingly then with the FileTransfer features on ThingWorx you can upload this file to the platform.
