The discovery feature of Archiving and Discovery is used to search across live* and archive mailboxes for email messages and attachments. The discovery tool can be run from the administration console and the results are copied to a target mailbox that you specify.
You can search outgoing and incoming email by date, from, to, cc, subject, keywords, and attachments. The advanced search feature can be used to quickly create a query to search by name, dates and time ranges, distribution list, aliases.
Target mailboxes are created to receive discovery search results. You can organize your search results by creating different target mailboxes or by creating individual folders within a target mailbox for each search you run.
X-zimbra-Source header information is added to each message header that is copied to the targeted mailbox. This header label includes the account ID, the account name, and the server that the account resides on.
The Zimbra-archiving package can be installed and configured on an existing single-server deployment or on a multi-server deployment as an upgrade to ZCS, and archiving is enabled on each MTA in your ZCS deployment.
If the mailbox server and the MTA server reside on the same node, you configure and enable archiving as a single upgrade process. If your mailbox and MTA servers are on separate nodes, the zimbra
-archive package is installed first on at least one mailbox server and then the archiving component is enabled on each MTA in the deployment.
In this upgrade process, it is assumed that the LDAP, MTA, mailstore and archiving servers are on the same node. To install archiving in a single-server deployment, you have to:
The following upgrade scenario assumes that the LDAP server, MTA server(s), and mailstore server(s) have ZCS installed correctly. You are now adding a new server that will be dedicated as a archiving server to this environment.
When you add archiving and discovery to an existing ZCS multi-server environment as a dedicated archiving server, you install the zimbra-archiving package and the zimbra-store package on the dedicated server, and you enable archiving on each MTA server in your deployment.
Before beginning the install process, note down the following information. You need this when you install the archiving server. Run the
zmlocalconfig -s command to find the information.
Complete the installation process following the steps under Installing Zimbra Mailbox Server. At this point the Discovery feature is installed and can be used.
After the archiving package has been installed on the archiving server, you must enable archiving on each MTA server in the deployment. Complete the following on each MTA server. This is run as zimbra.
