Veritas Data Insight Release Notes

WAL Mode enabled by default for all Filers and Shares

Write Ahead Logging (WAL) mode for SQLite was introduced as part of Data Insight 6.5 release but it wasn't turned on by default. Customers had option to turn it on to reap benefits of better disk consumption and preventing index from getting corrupted. With Data Insight 7.0, WAL mode will be enabled by default for all filers and shares. However, filers or shares with specific WAL configuration prior to this release will continue to use the old configurations.

Monitoring disk usage to pause and resume indexing job

Data Insight will now closely monitor the disk utilization on indexer nodes and will log the events when the disk utilization breaches the set safeguards. Accordingly, the index writer jobs would be paused when utilization is above a set threshold and auto resumed when the utilization falls below the critical level. Clean up jobs will run on the indexer roles to purge the temporary or orphan index databases.

Purging Audits and indexes for deleted files

Product insights have revealed that a lot of index space is being consumed in maintaining auditing information. Also, in filers involving a lot of churn, the indexes and audits maintained for deleted content keeps growing and provides little business value. Growing index sizes may lead to slower ingestion speeds, latencies in generating reports and in some instances, index corruption. To prevent/ overcome these challenges, DI now introduces a utility to recover index space from audits pertaining to files and folders that have been deleted at source.

Purging Audits and indexes based on configurable retention period

Data insight will now provide a configurable option to customers to purge indexes and audits on their shares, filers, or indexers and configurable retention times to manage their indexer disk utilization better. Success and failures in purging would be event logged. This feature provides granular way of managing index disk utilization on the indexer roles.

Selective content fetch

Data Insight 7.0 introduces a new file group Classification Excluded Extensions which allows customers to exclude the file types which they do not wish to classify. Files which are not created or modified by end users e.g. executables, system configs, drivers, etc. amount for significant portion of data sent for classification. By excluding these file types, the classification runs can be optimized which will help customers prioritize and expedite business critical classification jobs.

Classification server pool

Customers having classification server pools will now be able to view the primary classification servers for the secondary servers in the pool. This will aid in better load balancing across the servers in the pool and for better server capacity management.

Improved memory management of Veritas Information Classifier in instances where memory usage breaches the set safeguards.
