Loft is a Pro product delivered with the Loft desktop app. The pidgeon loft commands and the local Bridge on localhost:5100 ship with that app. The free dotnet tool install --global Pidgeon.CLI build does not include loft.

pidgeon loft watch

Watch a directory for incoming .hl7 files and validate each one as it lands.
The watch command validates .hl7 files only, and its --alert flag covers the console, file, and webhook providers inline. To watch a custom file pattern, or to route to Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or PagerDuty, create a persistent interface through the desktop app or its local Bridge. See Interface Monitoring and Alerting.

pidgeon loft status

Show current monitoring metrics across all watched interfaces.

pidgeon loft alerts

List recent alerts from the Loft metrics store.

pidgeon loft report

Generate a summary report of Loft monitoring activity.
Text and JSON print to stdout. For a PDF, Excel, or HTML file, use pidgeon loft report generate, which writes to a path with -o:
report generate also takes --template (interface-health, partner-scorecard, or sla-compliance). The report schedule, report list, report run, and report history subcommands manage recurring reports.
