Monitor SFTP availability and performance.

[dyn98007]

This is in the context of the extension  synthetic-sftp-monitor. 

A SFTP endpoint using  an AWS Transfer based endpoint needs to be monitored. But username/password based authentication for the Transfer endpoint  has been disabled. The endpoint exclusively uses SSH key-based authentication.

Given the above scenario, How can Synthetic SFTP monitor be used  to monitor the SFTP endpoint?

Please advise!

Hello @dyn98007 ,

This extension supports both basic authentication and key authentication. You can see the relevant section in the extension documentation below.

Key Configuration
If the connection to the SFTP server requires a security key, provide the details here.

The solution we implemented was creating a credential vault with the type `username and password`. In the username field, I entered the actual username, and in the password field, I pasted the private key entire content. This worked for us.

It might be worth trying.
