Monitoring the progress of analytics data collection

After you have enabled a case or folder for analytics, you can monitor the progress that eDiscovery makes while it collects and analyses items. You can do this by viewing the Analytics tab in the eDiscovery client. Table: Areas in the Analytics tab describes the information that each area of this tab provides.

Table: Areas in the Analytics tab

Area

Description

Data collection

The Data collection area shows the progress of analytics data collection. The fields are as follows:

  • Started at and Completed at. Shows the dates and times between which eDiscovery undertook data collection.

  • Successfully collected items. Shows the number of items that eDiscovery has collected from the Enterprise Vault archives, and the total number of items to be collected.

  • Permanent failed items. Shows the number of items that eDiscovery has failed permanently to collect.

  • Temporary failures. Shows the number of items that eDiscovery has failed temporarily to collect. For example, these items may be on a tape that was unavailable at the time of collection.

  • Items with no indexable content. Shows the number of items that do not have any content that eDiscovery can collect. These items may be encrypted items, or they may be in a form that Enterprise Vault cannot convert to HTML.

  • Items deleted from Enterprise Vault. Shows the number of items that eDiscovery cannot collect because they no longer exist in the Enterprise Vault archives. These types of items are marked as permanently failed items.

If eDiscovery fails to collect certain items, you can try to collect them again by following these steps:

  1. Click Error details.

  2. In the Error management window, click Retry failed items.

If the full-text indexing of some collected items fails, the advanced search and automatic categorization facilities in eDiscovery may not work properly. To resolve this issue, you may need to rebuild the full-text indexes by following the instructions in this article:

https://www.veritas.com/docs/100024614

Conversation analysis

The Conversation analysis area shows the progress that eDiscovery has made in identifying the items in the same conversation thread. The fields are as follows:

  • Analyzed items. Shows the number of items that eDiscovery has analyzed for conversations.

  • Conversation threads found. Shows the number of threads that eDiscovery has identified.

Marks and tags

Shows the number of marks and tags that you have defined for the case or folder. Click the Define marks and Define tags hyperlinks to set up additional ones.

Automatic categorization

The Automatic categorization area summarizes the progress that eDiscovery has made in automatically categorizing the items. This process takes place in parallel with the collection of data, if you defined analytics rules before you enabled the case or folder for analytics. When eDiscovery categorizes the items, the marks and tags that it applies are immediately available in the Review tab.

If the rules that you have created match too many or too few items, you can change the rules to produce better results.

eDiscovery lists marking rules and tagging rules separately. In both cases, eDiscovery lists each rule's name and actions, together with the number of items that the rule has categorized. In the case of marking rules, eDiscovery also shows the priority level of each rule.

Note:

After you enable a case or folder for analytics, there is a one-hour delay before automatic categorization begins. So, the Automatic categorization area can show that your rules have not marked or tagged any items, even after eDiscovery has started to collect data.
