Reporting on MOVEit automation activities
MOVEit Automation provides a simple but powerful user interface for defining business workflows that anyone on your IT team can use. With MOVEit Automation you can automate tasks like pushing and pulling files to/from any FTP server based on events or schedule, manipulating/transforming file content, managing files for transfer, storage or deletion.
By ingesting MOVEit Automation data into Splunk Enterprise, you can access dashboards to view performance information and asset overviews in the MOVEit Automation instance.
Prerequisites
- Splunk Enterprise
- MOVEit Automation data sources
Support for Splunk Cloud Platform is in the roadmap.
