Why do we need CSV Status Monitoring?
Sometimes, applications that we do not control keep their status information in CSV files. We would like to know when given values change, as they change, so we can perform actions based on this information.

The CSV Status Monitor is an agent of the Genie Monitoring platform product. It queries data from CSV files on a large scale to discover changes in the CSV files fields. Once a change occurs, it can launch a user defined event handler.

The agent can perform this operation very fast using asynchronous operations and complex algorithms that enable it to monitor multiple CSV files and multiple fields in short cycles. The agent does not wait for a response from a given node to monitor other nodes.

The agent contains many flow control parameters that enable it to work in all kinds of networks.
On the node level, the agent supports:

• Monitoring frequency
• Monitoring hours
• Number of threads used
