How File Reporter Works

File Reporter was developed to examine, report, and analyze Windows file systems and the Microsoft 365 cloud and their potential petabytes of data—in other words, millions of files, folders, and shares scattered among the various storage devices and the Microsoft 365 applications that make up your network. This reporting includes file content and the associated rights of these files, folders, and network shares.

To examine, report, and analyze this data efficiently, File Reporter disperses the work among a Web application, Engine, Agents, Scan Processor, RabbitMQ message broker, either a PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server database, Microsoft Active Directory, and Microsoft Azure Active Directory.
