Expectations Tab

You have critical transfers and Event Rules that you expect to complete within EFT. Insight provides a system for automating these expectations so that you can be alerted when there’s a problem, without having to conduct frequent manual checks.

For example, suppose every day, EFT should run a backup. You can setup an expectation to monitor a timer event with the specific name of your back up event. Configure it so that when it runs at a specific time, if it fails, EFT sends an email to the administrator.

You can set an Expectation for single or multiple transfers or Event Rules that match a set of criteria you define. Additionally:

Click an Expectation to see a history of its evaluations, or click View Evaluations to view evaluations for all Expectations.

Individual Expectations can be expanded for further detail.

Insight includes a SampleDashboard. If you upgraded from a previous version of Insight, one of the dashboards is "This was the old AutoSaved," which contains the Expectations you had defined. You can rename it, if desired.

All information can be filtered to see only the data that you’re interested in.  The Expectations view can be filtered by:

You can create multiple Expectation "dashboards" and each can have their own expectations defined.
