Viewing the Archives Contained in a Logger

Before migrating data to the ArcSight Database, you might want to gauge the size of the data within a Logger, which might help you set priorities for executing or scheduling copies. In the Archive Migration Tool, you can view the summary of archives contained within the current Logger, as well as the migration status of the archive. Even when no AWS S3 bucket has been configured for the data migration, you can still use this method to check the archives.

Note: If the Generator ID has not been configured, and it's not enabled by default in Logger, checking an option from the More Details menu will produce the following prompt:

To activate the migration process, check the Generator ID

To configure the option, which is required to initiate migrations, you must go back to the main menu, as detailed in Adding a Unique ID to Migrated Events.

  1. Perform Steps 1–3 of the Running the Archive Migration Tool procedure.

  2. Select Archives Available from the initial menu:

    What do you want to do?
    [ ] Manage S3 Bucket
    [ x ] Archives Available
    [ ] Logger Information
    [ ] Generator ID
    [ ] Generate Catalog
    [ ] Exit

  3. Select More details.

    For example:

    [ x ] Internal Event Storage Group (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)
    What do you want to do?
    [ ] Copy
    [ ] Schedule
    [ x ] More details
    [ ] Back

  4. Select the archive that you want to view.

    As you select items, the system progressively reveals further levels of detail. At every level except the last, you can select Yes to obtain further details. For example:

    Level Filtered by Example
    1 Storage group [ ] Internal Event Storage Group (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)
    2 Year

    [ ] 2021 (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)

    [ ] 2022 (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)
    3 Month

    [ ] 2021 Jul (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)

    [ ] 2022 Jan (Total: xGb, Ava: xGb, Pen: xGb, Done: xGb, Fail: xGb)
    4 Day [ ] 2022 Jul 26 (Available: xGb)

    where:

    • Total represents the total data size in gigabytes

    • Ava represents the available data to migrate in gigabytes

    • Pen represents the data pending to migrate in gigabytes

    • Done represents the data already migrated in gigabytes

    • Fail represents the failed data migration in gigabytes
