Microsoft does not consider Security and Compliance Center to be credible
- Aug 17, 2018Right, so you are confirming my last bit -- that longer term storage doesn't seem to have the most recent bits in your case for some reason. I would normally expect it to have it within 4 hours of the email being sent, but I don't know what the exact SLA is; there could be a service issue in your region. Regardless, I'm confirming: there is an escalation process for looking into this type of issue, and so if it still isn't resolved, it's absolutely something we can look into. I have shared this information with the support team working your issue, so let us know if this doesn't get you unstuck. I apologize for any inconvenience.
The Message Trace features in SCC and EAC use exactly the same back end query mechanisms. So it is literally impossible for the data to exist in one and not the other. What can happen, however, is that the result could be only one of the two data repositories that both admin experiences use. Specifically:
- short term data storage (7-10 day)
- longer term data store (>10days to 90 days)
Depending on how you structure your query in each experience determines which source is searched - we never search both at the same time. We think we made it much clearer in the new experience, but we also made it smarter at picking the best option vs. requiring an explicit decision. If someone is used to an explicit decision, I can see why they might think the back end has changed.
Now, depending which data store doesn't have the message in question, it could be due to a data ingestion issue for that particular source, and should be troubleshot accordingly and escalated if necessary. We do investigate issues of this nature, though we'll need to figure out which data storage and how long since the message was sent. We do absolutely care about the credibility of Message Trace.
