Regenerate Archive Message Content Index

This is only to search within the Archived message body content. This is not needed for searching message metadata.

This process may take some time to complete.

If you want to be able to search all Incoming or Outgoing archived message content in your domain, click on the Regenerate Content Index button at the top of the Domain Level Log Search page. This is controlled by the Indexing Options section in the Archive Settings page at Domain Level only.

The index is regenerated and any messages archived since the last time the index was generated are added to the index - allowing you to search all archived message content for that domain.

Add Customised Action Using Log Search

  1. Once you have run your log search and the search results are listed, select the dropdown to the left of the message and select Change action for messages like this
  2. The Add a new custom action for emails dialog is displayed with the fields pre-populated according to the message
  3. Click Save
  4. The new custom action is listed in the Incoming - Protection settings > Customise actions page accessible from the Admin and Domain Level Control Panels.

    You can now use the dropdown to the left of the new action and select Find similar messages to redirect you to the Log Search where the query based on your rule is automatically run and matching results are listed.

    Alternatively, you can set up custom actions manually on the Customise Actions page. However, using the log search, as described here, is quicker, easier and more versatile.

The custom action configuration requires the inclusion of a Sub class and Extra class to match message deliveries. The sub and extra classes can also be added in the query rules of the search prior to opening the custom actions window.
