Checkpointing Messages in Log During SPAA/SPSEEK Scanning

Question

What does this Checkpointing entry message, in the DEBUG log for my SPAA/SPSEEK System Scan, mean?

DEBUG  SHAREPOINTACCESS  Stealthbits.StealthAUDIT.DataCollectors.SPAA.Tasks.ScanSharePointAccessTask.InternalProcessRecord  "[C:1894] Checkpointing..."  REDACTED.SHAREPOINT.COM

Answer

Checkpointing refers to the process of writing any pending data to the Tier 2 database. This happens throughout the scan and is handled by the main thread, while other types of processing may still be ongoing. Seeing a checkpoint does not necessarily indicate a specific event—the system is just flushing data.

NOTE: In general, checkpoint messages in the logs are positive. They indicate that the scan is active and not stalled, even if there is no other visible progress at that moment.
