I’m running community 3.2.3.

My goal is to notify a group of non-technical users whenever there are files in 
a particular directory - the normal state is that the directory should be 
empty.  I’m currently doing this via the following:

bundle agent main
{
   files:
         “/apps/myApp_files/errors/time/.*"
                             file_select => plain,
                                  delete => tidy,
                                  action => warn_only;
}

I’m using “delete => tidy” only because I need something to attach the “action” 
attribute to - I never actually want to ever delete or touch any of the files 
in the directory.  Is this the smartest way to achieve what I want?

Also, while the above works, it’s not optimal because you get a lot of text in 
the warn message that non-technical users don’t understand.  A better way would 
be to define a class if any files are found in the directory and use that class 
in a reports section to send out a more easier to understand message.  How 
would I define such a class?
