    How to use global events in limagito filemover

    Most requested feature: ‘Global Events’ — available in version v2026.2.22.0

    This is especially useful when multiple rules share the same event configuration — change it once and all rules are updated automatically. It took us more time the expected but finally it is available. It is a first release so there can be hiccups, please let us know. We’ll fix them asap.

    • Setup your ‘Global Events’ using the menu item under ‘Global’:

    limagito filemover global events option

    • <Add> a new ‘Global Event’, give it a valid description and enable it.

    limagito filemover global events setup

    • Do your usual setup like you did with the Rule Events. When you are done click <Close>.

    limagito filemover global events setup

    • Open the Rule(s) where you want to use the new ‘Global Setup’.

    limagito filemover rule events option

    • Select ‘Global Event’ as Event Type and select the event you want to use. In this example we selected the previously created ‘Global event 1’.

    How to create a certificate using powershell

    How to create a certificate using powershell

    In a previous blog article we used a self signed certificate to authenticate against Azure. We used PowerShell to achieve this.

    We used the following PowerShell script:

    • We used “C:\ProgramData\LimagitoX\Certificates\Sharepoint” as output path for the certificate files
    • We used  Test123!  as password
    • Our certificate is valid for two years > -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(2)

     

    # This PowerShell script will create the certificate files under the following directory
    $certPath = "C:\ProgramData\LimagitoX\Certificates\Sharepoint"
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $certPath -Force | Out-Null
     
    $cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject "CN=FileMoverCert" `
        -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" `
        -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
        -KeySpec Signature `
        -KeyLength 2048 `
        -KeyAlgorithm RSA `
        -HashAlgorithm SHA256 `
        -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(2)
     
    $password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Test123!" -Force -AsPlainText
    Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert -FilePath "$certPath\FileMover.pfx" -Password $password
    Export-Certificate -Cert $cert -FilePath "$certPath\FileMover.cer"
     
    Write-Host "Certificate created!" -ForegroundColor Green
    Write-Host "Thumbprint: $($cert.Thumbprint)"
    Write-Host "Upload $certPath\FileMover.cer to Azure Portal"

    Open PowerShell as Administrator (Run as Admin ..) and paste the script + <Enter>

    How to prevent unnecessary log entries

    How to prevent unnecessary log entries

    Q: For example, Scanning a remote SFTP site to collect a specific file that seldom appears. I see the first half om the log and need to scroll down to se the last entry. I can of course change the scanning interval, but they (a department) expect to have a swift delivery as soon as a file appears. It’s no biggie.
