Hi All,

How do we consistently monitor the health of SFTP Readers and Senders?
Assume SFTP Reader or Sender does not have any access issues and can access the server endpoints.

However, for some reason if SFTP Reader /Sender starts to not to pick up/send files, how do we monitor them quickly?
Is it always via Application Messages? In this scenario what can be the states of Application Messages?
For SFTP Reader, we can also use ‘Connect Reader Queue’  but there should be a way to consistently monitor both SFTP Reader and Sender health.

Checking logs is not a solution as this is not about debugging any issues but monitoring the health frequently.

@GaSoGB yes, monitoring the SFTP Sender is normally done via Application Messages.

Have a look at the Administrator lobby. There you can see the various statuses. Also you might wanna try and create some lobby element/datasource focused on monitoring explicitly the messages that are going through the SFTP sender

Thanks @Marcel.Ausan ,

This information is basically not enough as we can only monitor business process related issues here.
This is monitored by default.
What customer needs is to monitor the Health of SFTP Reader/Sender PODS.
If SFTP Reader/Sender stops suddenly and if it is related to SFTP Reader/Sender PODS in MWS, we need to know it quickly.
