Do we have a possibility to run Mail Flow Central (Version 1.4.0 (103)) without direct connection to the devices?
I mean: We have a local copy of (all) the logfiles, but we cannot connect directly from our local installation of MFC to the devices.
How can we "import" this logfiles on our local installation of MFC?

I don't have a MFC 1.3 installed so I can't test this but have you tried copying the log files into this directory below and then restart the MFC service?
If it works, then you would need to create a Windows script to do a copy from your log server into the directory below. Then the script would need to restart the MFC service.
C:/program files/ironport
systems/mail flow central/mailfc/mgalogs/incoming/host # (for each host)

Kluu is quite right; on MFC 1.3 there are as many folders in the incoming directory as your configured hosts, named "1" "2" "3" and so on.
If you drop in there the mail log files with an extension ".s.001.r", they are processed by MFC at its next restart; I don't know it it works even without renaming the log files If your MFC is not configured at all, that is you have no host defined and no folder under "incoming", simply create as many hosts as you need in MFC and then create the # folders.
Hope this works on MFC 1.4 too.

Thank you.
I found the directory:
MailFlowCentral\Mail Flow Central\mailFC\mgaLogs\incomingI tried the following steps:
There is currently no data in the Mail Flow Central database.

MailFlowCentral\Mail Flow Central\mailFC\mgaLogs\archive\1

Nobody has such a configuration?

The most simple solution i can think of is run a small FTP server on that system to serve the logfiles. Then point MFC to localhost and let it fetch the logs from there.
I'm actually doing something similar like that. My MFC has no access to the Ironports or the other way around. The ironports push their logs to an FTP server, and MFC pulls the logs from that server. Never had a problem with that setup, just have to point MFC to the correct host/directory.

Good idea! I try to do that with a small "portable" FTP-Server.
