Tracking incidents enables administrators to view and analyze the performance statistics of Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint (FPSP) operations. When FPSP reports incidents, you are assured that FPSP is successfully detecting malware and employing filters.
The incidents database contains records of all malware (for example, viruses and spyware) and filter matches that FPSP has detected. The incidents database records what was caught by FPSP and provides information about how and where the incident occurred.
The incidents database contains all of the information collected by FPSP. You can use this information in order to do the following:
- Assess FPSP performance
- Consider what configurations may need
tweaking
- Look in-depth at certain trends and user
activities

| There is no hard limit for the incidents database size. Therefore, you must monitor your hard disk drive space because the database can grow to fill the available space. For more information about reducing the size of the incidents database, see "Reducing the size of the incidents database" in Managing incidents. |
