Monitor MULTIPLE folders with Python Watchdog and Multiprocessing |

I've received a ton of requests from my original Watchdog video on how to monitor multiple folders. Multiprocessing allows you to run multiple functions at the same time. It's similar to threading, but uses memory and your CPU differently.

Nice Contentt!! Keep it up. Love your videos and you give us the resource!! COooll

[@BrandonJacobson]

Thank you for the positive feedback.

How do you keep track of changes in the subdirectories?
I do not want to hard code the subdirectory paths. Instead it should recursively search for changes in the subdirectories.

Nice Work, can you suggest a way to Monitor whole file system of Laptop? Any other packages maybe?

[@sagargulati639]

Hi , we have large no. of files coming to a folder like 5000 files a second, and this data is streaming... And out of 3000 files watchdog is recognising only 1000 file events, could you please suggest any the solution to this...

Hey Brandon, I've tried to do the same but it's not picking up the changes, also, when I interrupt it, I get this error: "RuntimeError: cannot join thread before it is started"
Any Idea why this is happening?
thanks

[@BrandonJacobson]

What error are you specifically getting?

[@user-vp2if4kb6p]

why not make it with simple duplication observer.schedule(event_handler, folderX, recursive=True) ?

[@BrandonJacobson]

I will check that out. Thank you for the recommendation.

I executed the same code in jupyter notebook but it didn't show any logs

[@BrandonJacobson]

I googled it and it looks like Jupyter Notebooks don't print logs. Here's some recommendations on how to work around that: towardsdatascience.com/debugging-jupyter-notebooks-will-boost-your-productivity-a33387f4fa62
