Windows freeware Disk Pulse monitors file changes on connected and configured hard drives. This can be interesting for several purposes including monitoring installations of software, server environments or security.
Disk Pulse is initially configured to monitor file changes of the main hard drive of the computer system. It is possible to add, edit or delete locations easily from the main interface that lists all monitored directories.
Each file that is changed will be displayed with the time, date and full path in the interface as well giving the user an overview of the file operations in those monitored directories.
The lower third of the program interface displays statistics about the file changes. Here it is possible to categorize the file changes by extension, change type, username, file size or file date.
Disk Pulse displays the subcategories, file count, total file size and the percentage of changes that it makes up.
One interesting aspect here is that the files that are displayed in the interface change depending on the user’s category selection.
Some possibilities include displaying only large files that have been changed, files that have been changed by a specific user or files with a specific extension that have been changed.
The disk monitoring software supports profiles that can be used to monitor different directories or events more easily and with less noise.
Other interesting features include the ability to export and import configurations, configure a proxy server, use keyboard shortcuts or change the level of information that are displayed in Disk Pulse.
Disk Pulse can be downloaded from the developer’s website. The software is offered as a 32-bit and 64-bit edition. There are also pro and ultimate versions of the program which add functionality but need to be purchased.
