Checking the classification performance counters

Enterprise Vault provides a number of counters with which you can get live, real-time performance data for the classification feature. You can view this data using the Windows Performance Monitor or any other program that you use to monitor performance counters.

Table: Enterprise Vault Classification performance counters describes the counters.

The number of items that Enterprise Vault has blocked from automatic expiry as a result of classification.

Items blocked from discard on classification

The number of items that classification has marked for deletion but that Enterprise Vault cannot delete because they are on legal hold.

The number of items that Enterprise Vault has blocked users from deleting as a result of classification.

Items discarded on classification

The number of items that Enterprise Vault has discarded because classification has marked them for deletion.

Items failed classification

Items successfully classified

The number of items that Enterprise Vault has passed for classification with a success result. The count includes any items that classification has marked for deletion, whether or not Enterprise Vault was able to discard them.

Any items that are successfully classified but that Enterprise Vault later fails to index may be counted multiple times, as Enterprise Vault automatically retries the whole operation.
