Obtaining data for a specific file type in the FSA Reporting reports

The following FSA Reporting data analysis reports include data about file groups and file types:

  • File Group Space Usage on a Server

  • File Group Space Usage Summary

  • Inactive Files on a Server by File Group

  • File Space Usage on an Archive Point (accessed from the Archive Points Space Usage Summary report)

From Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3 onwards, these reports present separate data only for the file types that are included within a file group at the time the scan is performed. FSA Reporting combines the data that it gathers for the file types that are not included in any file group. The reports display this combined data as file type "misc" under the entry "Others" in the File Group column.

Note:

To determine a file type, FSA Reporting searches backwards from the end of the file name for the first period character. For example, FSA Reporting categorizes a file that is named abcd.ef.ghi as file type .ghi

For example, suppose that you perform an FSA Reporting scan on a volume that includes the following:

  • File types *.doc and *.xls, in the file group "Office Files".

  • File types *.001, *.002, and *.003, not included in any file group.

In this case the reports present separate data for the *.doc and *.xls file types in the data for the file group "Office Files". To view the combined data for the file types *.001, *.002, and *.003 you can expand the "Others" entry in the File Group column and view the data for "misc" in the File Type column.

Note:

If you specify more than 1000 different file types within your file groups, the Administration Console displays a warning message. To manage the data on this many file types may degrade the performance of FSA Reporting. The warning message advises you to reduce the number of file types if you use FSA Reporting.

To obtain data for a specific file type in the FSA Reporting reports

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Make sure that the file type is included in an existing file group.

    • Or create a new file group, and include the file type in the new file group.

  2. Wait until a new FSA Reporting scan of the file server has completed.
