Migration Manager: Reports and errors for file share migration
When an organization migrates their on-premises file shares to Microsoft 365, Migration Manager generates log files, summary and task-level reports, and a performance report. Use these reports to help manage, audit, and troubleshoot your migration process.
Note
These reports are for file share migration only. For cloud migrations, learn more at: Reports and errors for cloud migrations

Task Reports
When you need to do a more in-depth investigation or a thorough verification of your migration task, the task level reports help you drill down into the specific details. We recommend using these reports to help you accomplish this.

ItemFailureReport.csv: This is the failure report at the item level. This is a filtered version of the files report, showing only failures.
ItemReport.csv: A list of all the items this task attempted to do
ScanSummary.csv: This report gives statistical totals.
StructureReport.csv: Structure report at the task level.
StructureFailureReport.csv: Structure failure report at the task level.
StructureFailureSummary.csv: This is an aggregate of all the structural task failure reports. This will only be generated if there are failures.
