Event Generation

The SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client destination can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the destination generates event records each time the destination closes a file or completes streaming a whole file.

You can use events generated by the SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client destination in any logical way. For example:

With the SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client executor to move closed files.
For an example, see Managing Output Files.

With the Email executor to send a custom email after receiving an event.
For an example, see Sending Email During Pipeline Processing.
With a destination to store event information.
For an example, see Preserving an Audit Trail of Events.
