Event Management

Events list contains all notifications and alerts related to the environment configuration and migration process. It allows you:

  • View all events related to the migration process.
  • If you are using new migration UI select an event to see details related to the event on the right pane.
  • Hide certain alerts from the list by using Acknowledge option. This might be useful if you don’t want to be distracted by the accidental warning or “expected” error.
  • Explore details about selected events. See the details pane on the right pane of the screen for more details and statistics for the selected event.
  • Export selected events into comma-separated values (CSV) file for analytic or archival purposes.

TIP: Use search or filtering to quickly navigate to the points of interest.

Please consider the following:

Depending on selected migration options, the content is transferred in separate batches that can be submitted for processing at the same time. It can take a while before processing of submitted batches will be completed. To help tracking the migration, the status for batches that are processed will be reported approximately every 5 minutes.

Searching

The lists of accounts, mailboxes, tasks or events could be large and hard to manage. You cannot scroll past 10,000 items or rows in a view. Use the Search box above this list to look for items that match your custom criteria.

To start a search:

  1. Use words, phrases, and special queries in your search.
  2. Click Search to get the search results. The search is performed across all fields. You can add search criteria to the search using facet filters on the left pane.
  3. Click the ✖ icon in the filter box to clear the search criteria.

TIP: Add * to the end of the search query to match all items starting with the search term. Otherwise, you will only get the exact matches. For example, john* could return John Denver, Johnson Smith, and john.denver. Search expressions are case-insensitive.

Advanced search

You can refine your results by using the advanced search operators. See Lucene Tutorial for the full information on search syntax.
