Managing repositories
The Data Insight Management Console lets you view the repositories discovered or added to the monitored device and properties of the repository, start an unscheduled scan of the repository, delete the repository, view the event log or scan history of the repository, or download logs for troubleshooting purposes.
Use the provided dynamic search filter to search for configured repositories based on the name of the repository.
To view the configured repositories
- In the Console, click Settings > ECM Sources.
- In the ECM devices summary table, click the device that the repositories are a part of.
The screen displays a list of all configured repositories.
- On the devices details page, click Monitored Repositories.
- On the repositories listing page, review the following information about the configured repositories.
The name of the repositories.
The scanning schedule for the repositories.
The date and time of the last full scan of the repositories.
The time this repositories's index was last updated with scan information. After every scan, the index is updated with information about the changes to the folder hierarchy on a repository. This column indicates whether the last update was successful or has failed. It also indicates number of scan files pending for this repository on the Indexer and the number of files that failed to be indexed. The files that failed to be indexed, are present in the
$data/indexer/err
folder on the Indexer. If you do have failed files on the indexer, you can move them from theerr
folder to the$data/inbox
folder and attempt a full scan of the repository.If the scan information again fails to be indexed, contact Veritas support.
