• Creation and modification of watches (monitors),
• When watch timers are started,
• When uploads begin, end, and if they are successful,

Watchfolder Function Is Active Only When Media Upload Utility Is Running
The Watchfolder is a function of the Media Upload Utility, not the MA server. Watchfolder is
active only while the upload utility is running. If it is necessary for Watchfolder to run 24 x 7,
the upload utility must be allowed to run continuously, in the background.
