Monitoring Validation

When Faspex detects new package transfers, Faspex reports validation states for the related packages as validation happens.

Faspex uses the package statuses:
  • validating
  • completed
  • validation failed

You can see the package validation statuses wherever you can see a package status in the UI.

If any file in the package fails validation, the entire package is flagged as validation failed and therefore cannot be downloaded as a whole package. For 30 days, Faspex shows the validation failure messages for the specific files that failed within the package. In those 30 days, you can download individual files in the package that passed validation and that are still available in the storage, but after 30 days, you cannot.
Note:

Faspex uses package-level information (package-transfer status and package-validation status) and file-level information (file-transfer status and file-validation status) to determine if packages and files are downloadable.

By default, Faspex retains file-level information for only 30 days. After 30 days, Faspex determines whether packages and files are downloadable using only package-level information. If the package validation status is validation failed, the entire package and its individual files are not downloadable.

You can configure the file-level information retention duration. For more information, see Changing Stats Collector Purge Frequency.
