File Transfer Monitoring

The Managed File Transfer domain is the central viewing portal of all file transfers that were executed by File Transfer jobs and MFT Enterprise File Transfers. This enables you to see the progress and details of many file transfers across multiple platforms without having to navigate to individual jobs.

The data that appears in the MFT Domain is restricted by the authorizations of the user, as defined in the Role Authorizations.

The Dashboard enables you to view the last 24 hours, find file transfers that failed, were delayed, or canceled, check the host load, count the number of files from a specific business partner, find the biggest file and the earliest transfer. You can interact with entities on the Dashboard or use the Advanced Filter to refine your results.

The Dashboard shows the following:

• Files by Status: Shows the status of all the file transfers: Completed, In Progress, Failed, Completed with Errors, In queue, and Canceled.

• Traffic Load: Shows the volume in GB of file transfers on each host and the number of files that were transferred on each host.

• Details: Shows the total number of hosts, total volume, slow and long file transfers, and total file uploads, downloads, pushes, pulls, based on the filter.

The following table describes the elements listed in the Details widget.

Endpoints	Determines the number of File Transfer Servers that are used to transfer and receive files.
Volume	Determines the total volume of all transferred files.
Slow Transfers	Determines the number of transfers that have a bit rate that is lower that the threshold defined in MFTSlowTransfersThresholdInKbps and MFTSlowTransfersMinDurationSeconds system parameters, as described in
