Resource statistics data: File

Learn about the data that is returned for the file resource type when you activate resource statistics collection.

You can view these statistics in the web user interface, or you can write a program that subscribes to a publication (single XML message) that returns this data. For an example of the publication message, see Example XML output.

A summary is displayed for the local file system of any file actions done by any type of file node. It does not have any other entries; there is only one local file system. Remote file systems are reported in FTEAgent and FTP resource statistics.
