How to Visualize FTP Data in Metabase
Connecting your FTP server to Metabase lets you transform static file storage into dynamic business intelligence without writing a single line of code. Kondado creates a direct connection between your FTP data source and Metabase, automatically replicating CSV files so you can analyze trends, compare historical patterns, and track performance metrics in visual dashboards. You choose exactly how often your data refreshes, ranging from every five minutes for near-real-time monitoring to daily updates for periodic reporting, ensuring your reports always reflect the most current information available.
With Kondado, marketing teams can analyze campaign exports, operations managers can monitor inventory files, and agencies can consolidate client data, all within Metabase’s intuitive interface. The process requires no IT support: simply connect your FTP server, select your refresh frequency, and start building charts that answer your specific business questions.
Kondado replicates FTP CSV data directly to Metabase on a configurable schedule, enabling business teams to build self-service reports from file-based data without technical setup or intermediate databases.

The CSV pipeline brings your FTP files into Metabase as structured data, capturing fields like __file_basename to track which files contribute to your analysis, row_number to monitor data volume trends, and column_number to identify schema variations across uploads. This setup helps you visualize inventory levels from daily stock files, track marketing campaign performance across multiple CSV exports, or monitor sales data from recurring order reports. By combining these elements in Metabase, you can create unified dashboards that automatically update as new files arrive on your FTP server, giving you consistent visibility into file-based operations without manual data consolidation.
