Understanding the Insight indexes

The contents of the various logs that are generated by the Protegrity products describe the working of the system. It helps understand the health of the system, identify issues, and help in troubleshooting.

All the features and Protectors send logs to Insight. The logs from the Audit Store are displayed on the Discover screen of the Insight Dashboard. Here, you can view the different fields logged. In addition to viewing the data, these logs serve as input for Insight to analyze the health of the system and to monitor the system for providing security. These logs are stored in the Audit index with the name, such as, pty_insight_analytics_audits_1.0*.

You can view the Discover screen by logging into the Insight Dashboard, selecting Discover from the menu, and selecting a time period such as Last 30 days.

The following table lists the various indexes and information about the data contained in the index. You can view the index list for PPC, by logging into the Insight Dashboard, and navigating to Index Management > State management policies. To view all the indexes, select Indexes. Indexes can be created or deleted. However, deleting an index will lead to a permanent loss of data in the index.
