Activity

The Activity page provides a comprehensive overview of file transfer activities for each Flow, Organization, Endpoint, or Flow Endpoint within your MFT instance.

In this page, you can:

  • Search for specific file transfers based on criteria such as flow, organization, endpoint, or flow endpoint.
  • Select one or all four options to gain a more detailed perspective on your file transfers.
  • Export the results of the activity page to a CSV file.

Each file transfer will be displayed at the bottom of the page with all the source files and a drop-down to show the associated target locations.

  • Type - Source or Target.
  • Flow - Name of the Flow.
  • Flow Endpoint - Name of the Flow Endpoint.
  • Organization - Name of the Organization.
  • MFT Node - Indicates if the transfer is processed on the MFT Cloud or on a MFT Node.
  • Path - Shows the Source or Target path.
  • Filename - Shows the filename.
  • File Size - Shows the file size.
  • Delivery - Delivery list counter.
  • Last State Update - Shows the current last state in the file transfer process.

Filtering

You can filter the transfers by using the Date Range field or you can use a specific Filename.

You can also filter by time of day.

The following filters help track problematic flows and find out if a file transfer is still in progress.

  • Processing Status - Filter by Alert, Error, In Progress, Completed, or Quarantined

  • Transfer Status - Filter by Scheduled/Ready for Download, Queued, Started, Completed, or Cancelled

  • View Type - Display the source, targets, or both

  • Show Purged Files - Display files that have been purged by retention

  • Hide Filter - Hide filters from view to allow more room for results

  • Pin Filter - Keep the filters in constant view, instead of the automatic removal when clicking apply

  • Clear Filter - Clear the currently defined set of filters

  • Apply - Apply the current set of filters to populate the results

  • Columns - Filter out any of the columns from the results view. By default Path is deselected.

The filters on file activity also apply to targets. If any one target matches the filter, all related transfers will be returned.

You may see a source that was transferred on 2/12/2024, and the target received a state update on 2/27/2024. The source will be returned as part of the search.

Results from the activity must match all specified filters. You can treat each option as being combined with ‘and’ as opposed to ‘or’.

Selecting "error on processing" and "error on transfer" means that there must be both a transfer error and a processing error.

info

You can also perform wildcard searches for specific file transfers by using the Filename field.

The activity page now automatically loads results as you scroll, eliminating the need to load all results at once.

From this perspective, you can easily click on the linked Flow, Flow Endpoint, or Organizations to swiftly troubleshoot and modify configurations as needed.

info

Files can also be manually downloaded for all endpoint types except Node/LAN.

Clicking on the state in this column will open further Transfer Status Details.
