Description

For the reporting period you specify, the cmdlet returns the following information:

  • Domain
  • Date
  • DLP Policy
  • Transport Rule
  • Event Type
  • Direction
  • Message Count

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Get-MailTrafficPolicyReport -Direction Outbound -StartDate 06/13/2015 -EndDate 06/15/2015

This example retrieves the statics for outgoing messages between June 13, 2015 and June 15, 2015 that were affected by DLP policies and transport rules.

Example 2

Get-MailTrafficPolicyReport -StartDate 12/12/2015 -EndDate 12/12/2015 -Direction Outbound | Format-Table Domain,Date,EventType,Action,MessageCount

This example retrieves the statics for outgoing messages on December 12, 2015 and displays the results in a table. Every unique combination of EventType and Action is displayed on a separate row in the table.

Example 3

Get-MailTrafficPolicyReport -StartDate 12/12/2015 -EndDate 12/12/2015 -Direction Outbound -SummarizeBy Domain,DlpPolicy,TransportRule,EventType | Format-Table Domain,Date,EventType,Action,MessageCount

This example is similar to the previous example, but now the results are summarized. Because the EventType is one of the summarized values, the rows in the table now contain the unique values of Action. The total number of rows in the report is reduced, and values of MessageCount are correspondingly larger on each row.

-SummarizeBy

The SummarizeBy parameter returns totals based on the values you specify. If your report filters data using any of the values accepted by this parameter, you can use the SummarizeBy parameter to summarize the results based on those values. To decrease the number of rows returned in the report, consider using the SummarizeBy parameter. Summarizing reduces the amount of data that's retrieved for the report, and delivers the report faster. For example, instead of seeing each instance of a specific value of EventType on an individual row in the report, you can use the SummarizeBy parameter to see the total number of instances of that value of EventType on one row in the report.

For this cmdlet, valid values are:

  • Action
  • Direction
  • DLPPolicy
  • Domain
  • EventType
  • TransportRule

You can specify multiple values separated by commas. When you specify the values DLPPolicy, Domain, EventType, or TransportRule the value is not displayed in the results (the values in the corresponding columns are blank).

Type:MultiValuedProperty
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
