About

The Upload Monitor and Upload Control tools in the Kaltura Management Console (KMC) let you track the progress of uploads, view completed uploads, and manage any uploads in progress.

Use these tools to confirm that your files uploaded successfully, retry failed uploads, or cancel queued uploads.

Monitor uploads

In your KMC, click the Upload Monitor (folder icon) at the top-right of the navigation bar.

The Upload Monitor shows uploads initiated from the +Create menu, including:

• Uploads from your computer
• Bulk uploads (if enabled)
• Drop folder ingestions (if enabled)

To view more details about a specific upload, click View details in the Upload Monitor window.

The Upload Control table shows the following information or each file:

Upload statuses

Tasks are sorted according to status:
