lccDiskWatcher is a command line program that can monitor disk activity across one to many machines/disks at the same time.
In testing, we have had it monitoring 200+ machines/disks at the same time with minimal resources used and immediate feedback.
The program can log each machine's stats out to individual logs, as well as to a central log for all machines.
The program can be configured for 'thresholds'. Thresholds let the program know when it should alert about too many changes to files.
The main usages of this program are:
Each machine/disk being audited, is considered a 'set'.
