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, users or license.
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 other, current-state monitoring 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.
Number of Users
This widget displays the total user count in your system. It also provides a breakdown of user types (local users, Active Directory users, external users and guest users) using a donut chart for easy visualization.
License Status
This widget provides a snapshot of your current license information directly on the dashboard. It displays the essential license details, including user count and expiration date, and allows you to perform key licensing actions such as activation or deactivation. For comprehensive information about license management and actions, please refer to the License configuration page.
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.
