Webhook when a file changed

Hi, Is there a way to send an alert by webhook or email when a certain file is updated / changed? I have a file that I need to know immediately when it's updated / changed so I can upload a fixed version of him. If there is a way to automatically upload another version any time this file is changed - it's will be awesome, but if not getting an alert by webhook or by email that something happened to the file and that I should fix it - will also be superb. So - Is there a way to get a Webhook when a specific file is changed? Thanks! Ram

  Hey there! I don't know about the webhook side of things, but Linux has the auditd system built-in. We have a guide at the following link that explains how the tool works and gives an example of how to watch for changes to a file:

Is there a way to get an alert only when there is a change in the file size? Thanks! Ram

  I'm glad you found a good solution. cPanel doesn't control LFD, but reading through their documentation I'm not finding a way to change that behavior. You might want to reach out to their team at Technical Support to see if they are aware of this, or to submit a feature request to them.
