Choose what kind of file and directory changes to look for in a DigitalOcean Spaces bucket or region. Choose between new, modified, deleted, file size, and file count conditions.
| Conditions | Details |
|---|---|
| Watch for new files | Scan for newly created and uploaded files. |
| Watch for new and existing files | Scan for newly created files as well as the files already existing in the specified directory. |
| Watch for deleted files | Scan for files that are deleted. |
| Watch for modified files | This option enables the DigitalOcean Spaces Watcher to detect any changes in file content, including modifications to size or timestamp. It ensures comprehensive monitoring of file alterations in your storage. |
| Ignore timestamp | When Watch for modified files is active, this option directs the DigitalOcean Spaces Watcher to overlook changes in file date and time, focusing exclusively on size modifications. This helps to prevent unintended triggering from metadata-only updates. Note that during file uploads, intermediate states may be detected. This setting is not applicable to directory monitoring (aka prefixes, which acts like regular folders in object storage). |
| Watch for file count in directory | Trigger when the total number of files exceeds 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 | Launch a workflow when files 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 DigitalOcean Spaces Watcher waits for all currently running Task instances to finish, before triggering again. This behavior can be changed with a Registry override.
