Alerts

You can add and manage logon event alerts, transfer event alerts, and transfer non-event alerts through the Management > Alerts option.

Note: To add and manage alert definitions, you must have AdministratorRight or UpdateAlertRight. Only super administrators can add or update alerts that are associated with Run Command or Run Java Class alert action. This means if such an alert is created by an older version of TIBCO MFT Command Center for a department, when the department administrator tries to look at it, an error You are not authorized to update alert with run command or run java class is displayed. This is expected. If the super administrator removes the actions, the department administrator can manage the alert.

TIBCO MFT Command Center alerts supports you to perform specific actions when a logon to the TIBCO MFT Command Center or TIBCO MFT Internet Server occurs, an Internet transfer or Platform transfer occurs, or the Internet transfer or Platform transfer does not occur (non-event transfer).

Internet transfers generate audit records after each file transfer; Platform transfers generate audit records locally, and these records are retrieved from the Platform Servers via the TIBCO MFT Command Center Collector. For each audit record, the alert server examines the audit record information against the alert trigger criteria defined. If the audit information matches the alert trigger criteria, the actions defined for the alert are executed.

An alert log file is created within the TIBCO MFT Command Center <MFT_Install>/logs/audit directory created during the installation process. This file lists each alert that is generated and the action taken.
