Content Observability for OpenText Information Archive

Every archived record, retention policy, and compliance hold — observed, assured, self-healed.

Decommissioned records arrive as SIP packages, land in xDB and PostgreSQL under retention and legal hold, and get pulled back for audits and e-discovery. When ingestion backs up or a retrieval fails, regulated records fall out of reach — and the audit or the quarter-end close slips with them. Reveille pioneered Content Observability to prevent that: continuous coverage of the Information Archive Server, xDB, PostgreSQL, SIP ingestion, holds, and xQuery search, with self-healing automation built in.

Monitored layers, end to end

The only agentless monitoring system to integrate with Information Archive — on-premises or cloud.

The Blind Spot

Enterprises can monitor infrastructure. What they can't see is Information Archive.

Traditional monitoring tools watch the Information Archive servers, the OS, disk, and the database host — the infrastructure underneath. They don't see what's happening inside Information Archive: whether a SIP package actually ingested, whether a hold applied, whether a retrieval returned the right record. That's what drives the outcome — a clean audit, an answerable legal hold, a met retention deadline.

That layer is where silent failures live. A SIP ingestion folder ages past its threshold. An xQuery search quietly fails. Storage drifts toward a tenant's retention limit. None of it shows up on a server's status page — it surfaces when an auditor or an e-discovery request can't find the record.

What infrastructure tools see

The Information Archive Server is up, the database host is reachable, disk sits at 64%. Every infrastructure check is green.

What Reveille sees

A SIP ingestion folder aging past its threshold, an xQuery search failing, a legal hold that didn't apply, and storage drifting toward a tenant's retention limit.

Why it matters

Platform availability is not workflow availability. Reveille measures the difference — at the Information Archive transaction level.

What Reveille Watches

Every layer of the Information Archive stack. Application-aware.

40+ prebuilt, application-aware tests cover the components that actually drive Information Archive service levels — not generic infrastructure pings. Wizards and templates spin up a working monitor in minutes, drawn from a library that already understands Information Archive architecture. Zero relearning.

06 / Client Access2 tests

Login the way users do

Information Archive REST login and Web Application login, timed from the user's perspective against a service-level threshold.

From Signal to Resolution

Alert. Drill in. Resolve.

Detection is half the job. Reveille closes the loop — from a single threshold breach to a root-cause view in the affected queue, batch, workflow, or service.

1

Anomaly detected

AI/ML dynamic thresholds learn normal Information Archive patterns and cut alert noise from workload variation.

2

Context-packaged alert

Notifications arrive with the metrics, affected components, and troubleshooting data attached.

3

Self-healing remediation

When thresholds breach, Reveille can automatically trigger recovery actions — resolving issues before the ticket queue fills.

KPI Dashboards

Information Archive operational KPIs, out of the box.

60+ prebuilt dashboard metrics turn Information Archive signals into measurable key performance indicators — tracked, charted, and reported through Information Archive-aware dashboards.

  • Storage usage and license cost by tenant — active, content, metadata, index, and decommissioned
  • Job processing — failed, queued, scheduled, and successful completion counts
  • Compliance metrics, retention coverage, and purge prediction
  • Dynamic threshold detection powered by machine learning

Yes. Reveille includes dedicated test categories for both databases — xDB service, health URL, port, state, and version, and PostgreSQL service, system database size, system SQL query, and application database state and responsiveness.
Can Reveille detect stuck or aging SIP ingestion?
Yes. Reveille checks SIP ingestion file age and scans the ingest error log, so a backed-up or failing ingestion surfaces before it turns into a missed retention deadline or a compliance gap.
Does Reveille track compliance and retention?
Yes. Reveille tracks compliance metrics, hold status, job and background task status, and storage usage — including usage for chargeback reporting and purge prediction — so retention and compliance posture stays visible and defensible.
What is Information Archive User Analytics?
Reveille uses patented passive collectors to observe real Information Archive user activity — record retrievals, searches, and logins across encrypted web and custom REST applications — turning it into auditable, queryable insight on adoption, response times, and behavior.
Can Reveille detect a content access breach?
Yes. Reveille detects suspicious or abnormal access patterns — such as same-user/different-IP activity — that can indicate an insider threat or content access breach, and reduces mean time to threat detection by correlating user, repository, and infrastructure signals.
Does Reveille use AI and machine learning?
Yes. Reveille uses AI/ML dynamic thresholds to learn normal Information Archive patterns and cut alert noise from workload variation, and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for communication with AI assistants and AI agents.
Does Reveille integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Reveille extends your existing IT operations management (ITOM) and security investments, integrating with platforms such as Splunk and incident management systems such as ServiceNow — feeding the content-layer signal those tools cannot generate on their own.
Does Reveille replace Information Archive's native admin tools?
No. Reveille complements native tooling. As an independent observability layer — not built, sold, or operated by the platform it measures — it provides the cross-boundary view and independent record that vendor-native consoles cannot.
Is Reveille an OpenText partner?
Yes. Reveille is an OpenText Solution Extension Partner, and its primary focus is content services platform and ECM application management, user analytics, and detecting content access breaches.
