How FSA Reporting works

When you configure FSA Reporting for a file server, the data analysis reports become available in addition to the operation reports. The data analysis reports work in the same way as the operation reports, except that the data analysis reports query only the FSA Reporting databases and the Directory database.

Figure: How Enterprise Vault Reporting works: with FSA Reporting for Windows file servers illustrates how Enterprise Vault Reporting works if you configure FSA Reporting for Windows file servers.

Component

Description

File Collector service

This service runs on the Windows file server and does the following:

  • Scans the file system on each file server volume for which FSA Reporting is enabled. The File Collector service performs the scans according to the FSA Reporting data collection schedule, or when an administrator triggers an immediate scan with the "Run FSA Reporting scan" option.

  • Collects the archive data for a volume by querying the Vault Store databases and the Directory database through the FSA Reporting web service.

  • Collates the active and the archive data into an XML file.

  • Divides the XML file into chunks and then transfers the chunks to the FSA Reporting web service on the Enterprise Vault server.

The File Collector service is part of the FSA Agent. Before you can enable FSA Reporting for a Windows file server, the FSA Agent must be installed on the file server.

Note:

The FSA Agent cannot run on non-Windows file servers. For non-Windows file servers another server must act as a proxy and perform the FSA Reporting data collection remotely.

See About the FSA Reporting proxy servers for non-Windows file servers.

FSAReporting web service

This service runs on the Enterprise Vault server and does the following:

  • Responds to queries from the File Collector service for archive data for any volume.

  • Receives the XML file's data chunks from the File Collector service and reassembles them.

  • Uploads the reassembled XML data to the file server's assigned FSA Reporting database.

  • Returns the status of the upload operation to the File Collector service.

  • Stores in the Directory database the FSA Reporting configuration changes that it receives from the Administration Console.

FSA Reporting databases

FSA Reporting requires at least one FSA Reporting database per Directory database. Each FSA Reporting database holds the scanned data and configuration information for one or more target file servers.

See About the FSA Reporting databases.

The Administration Console displays the status of FSA Reporting for the target file servers and their target volumes.

See Viewing the status of FSA Reporting.
