Setting up FTP Profiles
Fig. 26. FTP profile settings.
1. Name and status
Profile name:
Administrators can select any profile name that is helpful, meaningful and easy to remember.
Profile is used by default:
Yes means that this profile is used by default.
2. FTP settings
FTP server address:
The IP address or domain name of the FTP server and the path to the directory to which captured messages are to be stored.
Port:
The FTP server port to which messages are to be sent.
Directory:
The FTP server directory in which messages are to be stored.
SSL:
Enable/disable the use of SSL encryption when sending intercepted messages to the server.
Use (.tmp):
Enable/disable moving files in 2 steps:
Yes: a file is moved with a temporary extension (e.g. 2012-01-08-15-29-48-586.7.M.zip.tmp) and is renamed after moving is completed (the temporary extension is deleted);
No: a file is moved directly with the extension specified (e.g. 2012-01-08-15-29-48-586.7.M.zip).
3. Identification
Login:
The login name for access to the FTP server.
Password:
The password for access to the FTP server.
4. Message format
Message format:
Stored message format (EML, XML, JSON...)
Save as ZIP:
Determines whether stored messages should be zipped. If this setting is enabled, together with "Save as EML", then message EML envelopes will be zipped. If this setting is enabled, but "Save as EML" is disabled, the messages will be zipped in the internal format of Microolap EtherSensor.
ZIP file compression rate:
Possible values for this setting are from 0 to 9, where 0 means no compression, 1 means minimum compression, but high speed, and 9 means maximum compression.
Duplicate headers:
Enable/disable saving standard message headers, as well as X-Sensor headers, in a separate attachment to the message named microolap_msis_headers.txt.
Possible options:
All
Save all message headers;
X-Sensor
Save headers with the X-Sensor prefix;
Other
Save standard headers, such as From, To, Cc, Bcc and also any others to which xsensor settings don't apply;
No
Disables saving of headers in a separate attachment.
5. Error handling
Timeout after failure:
Timeout for message delivery in the event of receiver rejection. Provide a value in seconds.
6. For GROUP profiles
Weight:
Determines a ratio for distribution of messages among receivers. Possible values are from 1 to 10 and the setting is valid only when used in a group profile.
Reserve profile:
Enable/disable the use of the reserve profile. If this setting is enabled and the main (non-reserve) delivery profiles fail, this profile will be used for message delivery. The setting is valid only when used in a group profile.
