The Reports tab

The Reports tab of the Lync Connector Console provides information on the status of the synchronizations that Lync Connector has performed, and the transcripts that it processed in each synchronization.

Synchronizations

The Synchronizations table reports on the status of the synchronizations that Lync Connector has performed during the period for which the synchronization records are retained.

To filter on failed and canceled synchronizations only, select Failed / canceled from the Filter drop-down menu.

To sort on a table column, click the column heading.

The Synchronizations table contains the following columns of information about each synchronization:

Status

The status of a synchronization can be one of the following:

  • In progress: The synchronization is currently running.

  • Completed: The synchronization completed successfully.

  • Canceled: The synchronization was canceled, for example because you paused Lync Connector, or the Lync Connector service was stopped.

  • Failed: The synchronization failed, for example because each processed transcript was failing with the same error.

Start

The time when the synchronization started.

End

The time when the synchronization completed.

Successful (new)

Of the transcripts that were extracted in this synchronization, the number that were successfully forwarded to Enterprise Vault.cloud for archiving.

Excluded (new)

Of the transcripts that were extracted in this synchronization, the number that Lync Connector excluded from archiving.

Failed (new)

Of the transcripts that were extracted in this synchronization, the number for which the processing failed.

Successful (total)

The total number of transcripts that Lync Connector successfully forwarded to Enterprise Vault.cloud for archiving in this synchronization.

This figure includes the transcripts from auto-retries and manual retries, and transcripts that were extracted but unprocessed in previous synchronizations.

Excluded (total)

The total number of transcripts that Lync Connector excluded in this synchronization.

This figure includes the transcripts from auto-retries and manual retries, and transcripts that were extracted but unprocessed in previous synchronizations.

Failed (total)

The total number of transcripts for which processing failed in this synchronization.

This figure includes the transcripts from auto-retries and manual retries, and transcripts that were extracted but unprocessed in previous synchronizations.

Failure

For failed transcripts, this column lists the reason for the failure.

Note:

If Lync Connector has performed more than 10,000 synchronizations, the table lists only the most recent 10,000.

Note:

Lync Connector also generates reports for each synchronization in the reports subfolder of the working folder.

See About the Lync Connector report files.

Transcripts

The Transcripts table reports on the transcripts that Lync Connector processed in a particular synchronization.

To view the transcripts for a synchronization, select a row from the Synchronizations table.

Note:

By default, the Transcripts table shows only failed or excluded transcripts. To remove or change the filter, select the required option from the Filter drop-down list.

To sort on a table column, click the column heading.

The Transcripts table contains the following columns of information about each transcript that Lync Connector processed in the selected synchronization:

Note:

If a synchronization processed more than 10,000 transcripts, only the first 10,000 transcripts are listed. To view the details of the additional transcripts, view the sync_details report for the selected synchronization in the Lync Connector reports subfolder.

See About the Lync Connector report files.

Number

The table row number. This number is provided for ease of navigation, and has no other significance.

File

The location of the transcript at the time when Lync Connector processed it. The location may have changed subsequently, as a result of processing.

Status

The result of processing of the transcript, which can be one of the following:

  • Successful: Lync Connector successfully processed the transcript and forwarded it to the SMTP server for archiving.

  • Excluded: Lync Connector excluded the transcript from archiving. The reason is given in the Exclusion reason column.

  • Failed: Lync Connector failed to process the transcript successfully. The reason is given in the Failure reason column.

Source

The source of the transcript, which can be one of the following:

  • Retry: A transcript from the retry folder. The retry folder contains only those transcripts that the administrator has placed there manually.

  • Download: A transcript from the download folder that was extracted from the Lync archiving database in a previous synchronization. Transcripts may remain in the download folder from a previous synchronization if for example a shutdown of the Lync Connector service occurred in mid-synchronization.

  • New: A transcript from the download folder that was extracted from the Lync archiving database during this synchronization.

  • Auto retry (excluded): A transcript from the autoretry\excluded folder.

  • Auto retry (failed): A transcript from the autoretry\failed folder.

Exclusion reason

If Lync Connector excluded the transcript from archiving, the reason for the exclusion. The exclusion reason can be one of the following:

  • No recognized participants: None of the participants was identified as having an archive account in Enterprise Vault.cloud. By default Lync Connector is configured to exclude such transcripts from archiving.

  • Too large: The transcript email exceeds Lync Connector's configured maximum size limit for forwarding to Enterprise Vault.cloud.

Failure reason

If Lync Connector failed to send the transcript for archiving, the reason for the failure.

Size (bytes)

The size of the transcript email, in bytes.

Time processed

The date and time that Lync Connector began the processing of the transcript.
