Below is a list of outputs that (may) appear in the log output and what they mean.

Ouput Description
The date and time the processing started for this file.
The time it took to extract and chunk the document’s text.
The extraction results for each extraction task specified (for the job) and whether they were successful or not. The result(s) of the extraction are shown under each task. If a task did not return any results, it will still mark it as successful. It is only when there is an error when attempting to extract metadata from the document that it will mark it as being unsuccessful.
You will see in the log file if any metadata extracted from any of the tasks are already present in SharePoint for this document.
- This shows the task that identified the metadata already in SharePoint
- This is the SharePoint column that contain the metadata
- This shows the list of metadata already in SharePoint.
You will also receive this if the Tag Limit for a SharePoint column has been reached. See section 5.5 for more information on tag limits.
You will see this if no metadata is extracted for specific SharePoint columns after trying to extract using the defined task. This shows the task that could not extract any metadata. The SharePoint column for which no metadata was extracted.
A picture containing text Description automatically generated This is a summary of the number of metadata that was identified (extracted) by each task and how many of those identified metadata were actually tagged. If the number of metadata identified(extracted) is more than the number tagged, it could be because some of the metadata extracted were already tagged or the Tag for some of the SharePoint columns was reached
