Abstract:
1. A method of specifying service level criteria, comprising: obtaining a file transfer log file from a first network entity; obtaining file transfer metadata from the file transfer log file, wherein the file transfer metadata corresponds to a subset of a plurality of file transfer events between the first network entity and a second network entity, the subset of the plurality of file transfer events scheduled to recur at a recurring scheduled time; generating a file transfer monitoring criterion based on the file transfer metadata, wherein the file transfer monitoring criterion is uniquely associated with the subset of the plurality of file transfer events to selectively monitor the subset of the plurality of file transfer events between the first network entity and the second network entity at a subsequent instance of the recurring scheduled time; and automatically updating service level criteria associated with the subset of the plurality of file transfer events based on the file transfer monitoring criterion.
