The File Archiving Monitor is found on the "File Archiving" tab of Device Console: http://dmas.uvic.ca/DC and requires login.
With it, users get an "at-a-glance" view of File Archiving statistics for a given day including:

  • The Data Product Formats (with extensions) for the files archived for a given device
  • The total (sum) size in megabytes of (uncompressed) files archived on that calendar UTC day, by Data Product Format
  • The total count of files archived on that calendar UTC day, by Data Product Format
  • The expected total (sum) file size in megabytes based on what has been archived in the two weeks preceding that day
  • The expected total file count based on what has been archived in the two weeks preceding that day
  • The ratio of archived size to expected size, expressed as a percentage
  • The ratio of archived count to expected count, expressed as a percentage


How to Fetch a File Archiving Report

  2. Select a node in the tree that you'd like to fetch a report for. Note this will include all currenly-deployed instruments.

Parameters

  • Report Date (UTC): The UTC calendar day to generate a report for
  • Powerable: Select which devices to include in the report based on their Powerable status, including Always, Intermittent and Never 
  • Archived/Expected Ratio % Filter: The range of Archived/Expected Size % to show in the report. Any results outside of this range will be filtered from the report
    Note that the default (blank) values for the From and To fields correspond to ~0 and +INFINITY, respectively
  • Thresholds: These fields govern the row highlighting  (Default: 50% = Red, 80% = Yellow.) (i.e. any Archived/Expected Size % below the Error (Red) Threshold % will be shown in Red; any Archived/Expected Size % below the Yellow (Warning) Threshold % will be shown in Yellow)
  • Show Log Files: Option for showing or hiding Log files (Data Product Format Id = 5). These can be optionally hidden since they will appear for virtually every device
  • Show Non-Log Files: Option for showing or hiding all mapped** Data Product Format Ids that are not Log files (DPFID = 5). These can be hidden in order to see only device log files, for example.
  • Show Unmapped Files: Option for showing or hiding unmapped** (Data Product Format Id = null) files



**Mapped and Unmapped files refer to ArchiveFiles that have been categorized with or without a Data Product Format Id, respectively
