Since 6.0
The following features and enhancements are available in Data Insight 6.1.1
Today, the need to identify and protect data is elevated. Organizations need to comply with data protection regulations that require them to monitor and locate sensitive data, protect it against data infringement and loss, and secure it by applying accessibility and usage control. Also, the exponential growth of unstructured data makes taking data management decisions (how long to archive content of business or legal value or what data to delete) a challenge.
Classification helps you improve content analytics by focusing on the relevant data set to perform risk analysis and remediation. It enables you to identify the sensitive data being stored in repositories (for example, Personally Identifiable Information such as Social Security, credit card, and drivers' license numbers) and ensure that the data complies with legal requirements in your organization.
In order to stay in step with the data protection regulations and to deal with the ever growing data, Data Insight operates closely with Veritas Information Classifier 2.0 to create a comprehensive framework to classify content that match the policies defined by your organization. Veritas Information Classifier uses built-in and user-defined policies to assign classification tags based on the content in files in your environment. After the files are classified, users of Data Insight can use the classification tags to filter the files for searches, reviews, and remediation.
For more information about how Data Insight classifies content and how to set up classification, see the Veritas Data Insight Classification Guide.
Data Insight now lets you configure whether you want to use the access zone, SmartConnect zone name, or SmartConnect zone alias to discover shares on an EMC Isilon file server when adding it to Data Insight.
EMC Isilon publishes shares through access zones. The SmartConnect zone hostname and alias is typically used to discover shares instead of the access zone name. Data Insight discovers access zone to SmartConnect zone mapping and uses it to discover shares.
For more information, see the Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.
Data Insight now lets you add labels to new and existing reports. The labels enable you to organize and group reports which makes it easier to search through a long list of reports. Reports can be organized under more than one label.
For more information, see the Veritas Data Insight User's Guide.
DQL reports now include support for the following:
Parallel execution support for DQL reports
You can now execute a Data Insight Query (DQL) report using parallel threads on an Indexer node. The global setting that lets you configure the number of threads responsible for generating the report output database for a single report now also applies to DQL reports.
This setting improves the DQL performance and ensures faster generation of DQL reports.
New tags tables added.
Allows you to find all tags that exist globally and to query tags associated with a file path from Veritas Information Classifier. The tags table only has one column - name. It is a string.
Example query - from tags get name
For more information, see the Veritas Data Insight Programmer's Reference Guide.
Data Insight now lets you purge historical report outputs and classification data. Purging frees disk space and keeps data at a manageable size.
You can configure global time and count-based settings that will automatically delete the data. Purging of data is not enabled by default.
For more information about configuring data retention settings, see the Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.
Data Insight now provides information about the time when a Data Insight user last logged into Data Insight. The audit information helps in better user management by allowing you to revoke access to users who have not accessed Data Insight in x number of days.
