Dashboard
The Dashboard provides administrators with a quick overview of system activity and storage status. It contains four fixed widgets that display key metrics. The widgets cannot be reordered, resized, or hidden.
The widgets fall into two categories:
- Time-based activity widgets – show file transfer activity within a selected time range.
- Current-state monitoring widgets – display the present status of storage resources.
Time Interval Selector
At the top of the Dashboard, a time interval selector allows you to adjust the reporting period for the Upload and Download Volumes and Upload and Download Quantity widgets. The available ranges are:
- Last 24 hours
- Last 1 month
- Last 26 weeks
- Last 1 year
These intervals do not affect the Database Storage Monitoring or File Storage Status widgets.
Data for the Upload and Download Volumes and Upload and Download Quantity widgets is collected only from version MetaDefender® MFT 3.9.2 onward. If your system was upgraded from an earlier version, no historical data prior to the upgrade will be available in these widgets.
Upload and Download Volumes
This widget displays the total amount of data transferred within the selected time range. It provides a clear view of system throughput, helping administrators track peaks in activity and evaluate overall data movement.
Upload and Download Quantity
This widget shows the number of files uploaded and downloaded in the selected time range. It enables administrators to monitor file activity levels and identify usage trends over time.
Database Storage Monitoring
This widget summarizes the current status of database storage usage. For more detailed information, refer to the Database Storage Monitoring page.
File Storage Status
This widget provides a bar chart showing the used and free space across all file four (permanent, processed, temporary, archived) storages. It helps administrators quickly assess storage availability and usage distribution.
