Adding targeted collection for Enterprise Vault

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
The Enterprise Vault reactive collector lets your organization collect items that are associated with your Enterprise Vault. After an administrator configures this collector for your organization, the items that match the filter criteria can be collected in Insight eDiscovery.
You must configure the filter criteria for each Enterprise Vault reactive collector. Based on the filter criteria, the Enterprise Vault reactive collector collects the archive-level and vault-level data in Insight eDiscovery to perform all eDiscovery operations.
