Directory Structure

The SMA FAD uses the following directory structure to manage file monitoring and event processing.

SMA File Activity Detection Daemon Architecture

  • The control subdirectory contains one or more Control Files that represent an instance of SMA FAD and act as configuration files.
  • The snapshot directory contains tracking information for SMA FAD to manage file monitoring.
caution

Do not remove the files from the snapshot directory; the files are critical for SMA FAD processing.

  • When the SMA FAD is running, the pid directory contains one pid for every file in the control directory.
caution

Do not remove the files from the pid directory; the files are critical for SMA FAD processing.
