  • OCR Success Rate - Percentage of successful text extractions
  • Processing Speed - Average documents processed per hour/day
  • Storage Usage - Total disk space used by documents and metadata

Document Types

  • File Format Breakdown - Distribution of PDF, images, Office docs
  • Source Distribution - Documents by upload method (manual, WebDAV, S3, local)
  • Size Distribution - Document size ranges and storage impact
  • Language Detection - OCR language distribution statistics

Processing Status Overview

Real-time Status

  • Queue Length - Current documents awaiting processing
  • Active Jobs - Documents currently being processed
  • Recent Completions - Recently finished processing jobs
  • Error Count - Failed processing attempts requiring attention

Processing History

  • Hourly Trends - Processing volume over time
  • Daily Patterns - Peak usage times and quiet periods
