Measures reported by Exc2013SeaTranTest

Content indexing is a built-in feature which enables fast searches and lookups through mailboxes and public folders stored in the Exchange Server. To assure Exchange users of a high-quality search experience, administrators should make sure that all documents are indexed quickly and in an error-free manner. For this, administrators can use the Exc2013SeaTranTest test.

This test, at periodic intervals, runs quality checks on the indexing process, reports the count of documents that were skipped when indexing or failed, and reveals bottlenecks in indexing.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Doc_pro_sec Indicates the rate at which the pipeline has processed documents. Processing/Sec A consistent and marked drop in this value is indicative of an indexing bottleneck.
Doc_fail_sec Indicates the rate at which the documents failed processing. Failure/Sec A steady and significant increase in this value could indicate serious issues in indexing that need to be looked into.
Doc_skip_sec Indicates the rate at which processing was skipped for documents. Skips/Sec
