# Using Store and Forward

> <IUCard title="Using Store and Forward" link="https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/using-store-forward/8.1" /><br />

The current status of the Store and Forward system can be viewed from the Status section of the [Gateway Web Interface](platform/gateway/gateway.md). These pages provide detailed analysis on each Store and Forward engine. 

## To Monitor the Store and Forward Engine

1. Go to the **Status** section of the Gateway.
2. Click on **Store & Forward** from the left menus.
The **Store & Forward Connections** page will be displayed showing each store-and-forward engine along with the current throughput and capacity of its **Memory Buffer** and **Disk Cache**.
On this page, there are several notable items:

| Name | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| Aggregate Throughput | The aggregated number of records inserted into a database from any engine, per second. |
| Total Quarantined | The current count of quarantined items across all engines.  |
| Total Dropped | The number of records that have been dropped from all store and forward engines. A record is considered dropped if it can not be added to one of the buffers, such as when a buffer is full, and the engine can no longer accept new records. |

You can click on **Details** under the **Store and Forward Engines** section to refresh and update the displayed values. This page provides in-depth information on the current status of the engine. 

| Name | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| Memory Buffer | The number of records entering the Memory Buffer per second. The progress bar shows the percent of the buffer being utilized, along with the current and max number of records. |
| Disk Buffer | The number of records entering the Disk Buffer per second. Note that a state of "idle" means the engine is able to successfully store all records into the database before the **Write Size** or **Write Time** values have been reached. The progress bar shows the percent of the buffer being utilized, along with the current and max number of records. |
| Database | Shows the number of records pushed from either buffer to the database per second |
| Quarantined Items | Lists all quarantined items in the engine. Includes the number of occurrences, a description of the where the items originated from, and the reason why the record was placed into the quarantine. Provides an opportunity to retry, export, or delete the items. |
