Managing shares
On the Monitored Shares details page you can view the detailed information about configured shares and run a customized scan on the configured shares.
Use the provided dynamic search filter to search for configured shares based on the name of the share.
To view configured shares
- In the Console, click Settings > Filers.
- Click the filer on which the share resides.
- On the Filer Detail screen, click Monitored Shares.
Review the following information about the shares:
ID of the share. The ID is required during troubleshooting. This column is hidden by default.
The name of the share.
If this share belongs to a clustered filer, then the name should appear as fileserver@share, where, fileserver is the name of the file server within the cluster that hosts the share.
Type of this share, CIFS or NFS.
Enabled status of this share. This column is hidden by default.
Legal hold status for this share. This column is hidden by default.
The number of parallel scan threads running on the share. This column is hidden by default.
The scanning schedule for the share. This column is hidden by default.
The date and time of the last full scan of the share.
The date and time of the last incremental scan.
Incremental scans are scans of the file system that includes only those paths that have changed since the last full scan. Incremental scans are much faster than full scans and they take place once every night at 7:00 P.M. You can configure incremental scans on the Settings > Data Insight Servers > Advanced Settings page.
The time this share'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 share. This indicates whether the last update was successful or failed. It also indicates the number of scan files pending for this share on the Indexer and the number of files that failed to be indexed. Such files are present in the
$data/indexer/err
folder on the Indexer. If there are failed files on the Indexer, you can move them from theerr
folder to$data/inbox
folder and attempt a full scan of the share. If the information fails to be indexed again, contact Veritas Support.The time this share's index was last updated with access event information.
As new access events come in, the index for the share is periodically updated with information about the new access events. This indicates whether the last update was successful or had failed. It also indicates the number of audit files pending for this share on the Indexer and the number of files that failed to be indexed. Such files are present in the
$data/indexer/err
folder on the Indexer. If there are failed files on the Indexer, you can move them to the$data/inbox
folder on the Indexer. If they fail to be indexed again, contact Veritas Support.The status of event monitoring for the share, whether enabled or disabled.
Whether a legal hold is being enforced for the share. You can choose to prevent access information for a share from being archived or deleted by putting a legal hold on the share. Data Insight preserves the access events information for such shares indefinitely.
