File metadata
The File metadata source generates an Omniscope dataset that contains file metadata related to a subset of files in a specific directory. Each row in the dataset represents a different file.
Some examples of file metadata include:
- The name of the file.
- The size of the file in bytes.
- The last modified date.
- (Image files only) The size of the image.
Options
- Folder. Specifies the directory that contains the files you want to scan. You can choose to include the files in all subfolders by selecting the Include subfolders option.
- File type. Allows you to specify the types of files you want to scan. You can choose to scan All files, Images or a Custom list. If you choose the Custom option you can specify the filenames of the filenames you want to include. So, for example, if you want to scan all JPG and TXT files you should enter '*.JPG,*.TXT' in the filename filter.
- Tags in filenames.
