File IQ Available Reports

Prev Next

Enabled reports operate on a predetermined weekly or monthly schedule, requiring no further action from a user. In contrast, disabled reports do not run automatically according to a schedule. However, a disabled report can be executed on an ad-hoc basis from the Report Management page at any time.

This document provides an overview of the File IQ reports, including their individual configuration settings and instructions for restoring them to their default settings.

Volume Usage Detail Report

The Volume Usage Detail report enables the File IQ Administrator to specify arbitrary volume and directory pairs, along with their immediate subdirectories, for volume usage detail reporting.

This report is executed weekly in PDF and CSV formats.

The PDF format includes the following information for each volume:

  • The set of directories selected by the report configuration.

  • For each configured directory:

    • The total size of the directory and the percentage of total volume usage it represents.

    • The total number of files within the directory and the percentage of all volume files it contains.

    • The total number of subdirectories within the directory and the percentage of all directories for this volume.

  • For every configured directory with children selected:

    • Every immediate subdirectory. For each subdirectory:

      • The total size of the directory and the percentage of total volume usage it represents.

      • The total number of files within the directory and the percentage of all files for this volume.

      • The total number of subdirectories within the directory and the percentage of all directories for this volume.

The CSV format lists each directory as a row and includes the following information:

  • The volume name.

  • The absolute directory path.

  • The total number of files under this directory.

  • The total number of files under this directory as a percentage of the total number of files on the volume.

  • The number of subdirectories under this directory.

  • The total number of subdirectories under this directory as a percentage of the total number of directories on the volume.

  • The total size of files contained under this directory in bytes.
