Conditions tab allows choosing what kind of file and directory changes to detect in a remote Amazon S3 server.
| Conditions | Details |
|---|---|
| Watch for new files | Detect newly created and uploaded files. |
| Watch for new and existing files | Detect newly created files as well as the files already existing in the specified directory. |
| Watch for deleted files | Detect when the files are deleted. |
| Watch for modified files | Enables the Amazon S3 Watcher to detect any modifications in file content, including changes in size or timestamp. It ensures comprehensive monitoring of file changes in your S3 buckets. |
| Ignore timestamp | When used with Watch for modified files, this option instructs the Amazon S3 Watcher to ignore changes in file date and time, focusing only on size modifications. This is useful for preventing unintended triggering from metadata updates. Note that during file uploads, intermediate states may be detected. This setting does not apply to directory monitoring (aka prefixes, which acts like regular folders in object storage). |
| Watch for file count in directory | Detect when the total number of files exceed the specified number. Always returns the oldest file, enabling sequential processing to ensure all files are handled in a predictable manner. |
| Watch for file size that is greater than | Detect files that are larger than a particular size. |
| Size units |  Set file size limits in any preferred format—bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. |
Note
- When watching for New and existing files, File size or File count, the Amazon S3 Watcher waits for all currently running Task instances to finish, before triggering again. This behavior can be changed with a Registry override.
