Start

Time stamp for the data aggregation start time

Finish

Time stamp for data aggregation end time; blank until successful collection and aggregation complete

Elapsed Time

Time, in minutes, that it took for the last data collection to complete; refresh the report if collection is in progress. A total is listed at the bottom of the table.

File Count

Number of files from which metadata was collected; a total is listed at the bottom of the table. This value initially is estimated based on the size of the collection file and then is updated once aggregation completes.

Files/Min

Number of files per minute; updated during active collection and upon completion, populated with the averages for the total duration of the collection period

% Completed

This progress bar reflects the elapsed time relative to the elapsed time of the last data collection/aggregation (current/previous). When there is no previous collection, it will be 0%. In some cases, for example, prolonged collection periods, the % can exceed 100%. Excessively large % values (greater than 200%) may require investigation.

Previous Collection

File Count

Number of files from which metadata was collected during the last collection cycle; blank if no previous collection. A total is listed at the bottom of the table.
