Appendix G: Questions and answers about UC Analytics
Introduction
How often do the data collections actually gather data and when do they run?
When I view insights that show internal vs. external traffic, there is no data for internal traffic. Why?
Why are my OWA insights not showing any data?
Why did an insight show no data for a 30-day range though I initially set the data source to collect 30 days back?
If I collect both Exchange Tracking Logs andExchange Mailbox Contents, are there duplicate items?
If I collect message data only from the Exchange tracking logs, is the message Send Date and delivery time available?
What are the differences between the ExchangeMailbox Contents and Exchange Tracking Logs data sources?
Why do I get an error when collecting Exchangeconfiguration from multiple Exchange versions?
Why do I have to specify domain name when doing a multi-forest collection?
What insights are affected by the "Calculate insight data on server side" option?
What files should be excluded from anti-virus software?
