Hi Laurent,
Good to hear from you! Unfortunately HealthCheck transfers are not zero byte. We do write a few bytes (small file that transfers within 4-5 packets) to ensure that the docroot is still writable by the transfer user.
We do use a unique user for these transfers, so I was not sure if we can somehow apply a negation pattern to not record for that user. I know Reports are an option, but I am referring to the dashboard page more.
Please note we do delete the zero byte transfers from within configuration.

Hi Sumit,
Typically, healthcheck transfers would transfer a zero-byte file, it's sufficient to validate connectivity.
If it's the case, console has a feature to delete zero-byte transfers so that they don't appear :
Configuration -> Defaults -> Empty Sessions -> Delete all

Subject: Prevent Console from recording healthcheck transfers
We are using Console to monitor a cluster of transfer servers running in a containerized environment. Since we have a lot of HSTS containers, each running its HealthCheck every 3 minutes, Console is getting filled up with these HealthCheck transfers. Is there a way to prevent Console from recording these to give a more meaningful reporting of "real" transfers within the clusters?
