Analyze ingestion

Ingestion analytics lets you examine the volumes received by your organization over a period. It complements the dashboard’s organization charts.

Examine a period

Open ingestion analytics from the organization, then select a period offered by the page. Review the total volume, daily average, peak day and locations’ contributions.

The location ranking and history help identify the main sources of a spike. Compare the same period before concluding that a location is using more capacity.

Understand the counters

Ingestion volumes, compressed file sizes in Archives and export ZIP sizes are not directly comparable. Current-day counters can change as information is updated.

A low or zero volume alone does not identify why collection stopped. Also check location status, the last received log and a test message.

Act on usage

1. Identify the locations contributing the most volume.
2. Check which message categories the devices send.
3. Adjust sources or log filters if needed.
4. Compare another complete period afterwards.

A filter that discards messages before storage also excludes them from later searches and exports. Check which events you must retain before enabling it.
