We are looking for a solution to monitor the change events on windows file server.

The Directory monitor that we are currently trialed software eat a lot of memory.

Hello @JasonZhang0320,
That is not possible because pyinotify uses the inotify(7) which only recognize changes made by the kernel. So if another kernel, e.g. from another host using the same NFS export, make changes to the NFS mount the kernel on the host where you are running pyinotify cannot recognize the change.

Tronde
