Modifying the FSA Reporting data collection parameters

You can change the values of some of the parameters that determine what data the Enterprise Vault File Collector service collects for FSA Reporting. You can determine the following:

  • Whether the File Collector service collects data for the Duplicate Files reports.

  • The selectable options for the inactivity period in the three "Inactive Files" reports.

  • The parameters that the Largest Files per Volume report uses.

Note:

Alteration of the supplied values may result in increased scan times and increased FSA Reporting database sizes.

To change any of these parameter values you must edit a parameter value in the SQL Server FSAReportingConfiguration table of the Enterprise Vault Directory database.

Note:

Take great care if you decide to edit the database table. Take a backup of the database before you make any changes.

Table: Editable parameters in the FSAReportingConfiguration table of the 'EnterpriseVaultDirectory' database lists the details for the parameters whose values you can change.

Table: Editable parameters in the FSAReportingConfiguration table of the 'EnterpriseVaultDirectory' database

Parameter

Description

Supplied value (units)

CheckDuplicates

A Boolean value that determines whether the File Collector service collects data for the duplicate files reports:

  • Duplicate Files on a Server

  • Duplicate Files Summary

  • Top Duplicate Files per Volume

The File Collector service does not collect data for these reports by default. The collection of this data causes a slight performance degradation in the File Collector service.

Set this parameter to True if you want to collect data for the duplicate files reports.

False

DAYSOLD

A list of the periods in days for which the File Collector service collects data for the three "Inactive Files" reports. The list defines the options for the Interval input parameter when you run the report.

The list can contain a maximum of 10 comma-separated values, in ascending order.

90,180,365,730 (days)

MBLarge

A size in megabytes that defines the minimum file size that Enterprise Vault includes in the Largest Files per Volume report.

To set no minimum size, enter a value of 0.

1024 (MB)

TopFiles

The number of files to list in the Largest Files per Volume report.

To change the value, enter a number in the range 0 to 100. If you set a value of 0, FSA Reporting does not collect any data for the report.

Note:

The report lists fewer files than the TopFiles value if there are fewer than that number of files in the volume with a size of MBLarge or larger.

10 (files)

To modify the FSA Reporting data collection parameters

  1. Start SQL Server Management Studio.
  2. Expand the container for the EnterpriseVaultDirectory database.
  3. Right-click the FSAReportingConfiguration table and select Edit top n rows.
  4. Change the values of the appropriate parameters, as required.
  5. Save any changes, and exit from SQL Server Management Studio.

  6. If you changed any of the parameter values, do as follows:

    • For Windows file servers, restart the Enterprise Vault File Collector service.

    • For non-Windows file servers whose FSA Reporting proxy server is a Windows file server archiving target or a Windows computer, restart the Enterprise Vault File Collector service on the proxy server.

    • For non-Windows file servers whose FSA Reporting proxy server is an Enterprise Vault server, restart the Enterprise Vault Admin service on the proxy server.
