Vault Statistics

The Vault Statistics section in Settings lets you analyze the shape of your knowledge graph at a glance. It computes vault-wide metrics about your file hierarchy — how many trees exist, their depth, and how files are connected.

How to Use

Open Settings → Nexus Properties → Statistics. Statistics are computed automatically each time you open the tab, so they always reflect the current state of your vault.

Available Metrics

MetricDescription
Total Indexed NodesNumber of files currently tracked by the indexer.
Trees (Roots)Number of root files — files with no parent links. Each root is the top of an independent tree.
Average Tree DepthThe average maximum depth across all trees.
Max Tree DepthThe depth of the deepest tree in the vault.
Nodes with ParentsFiles that have at least one parent link.
Nodes with ChildrenFiles that have at least one child link.
Nodes with RelatedFiles that have at least one related link.

Notes

  • Only files within your configured directory scanning scope are included.
  • A "tree" is defined as a connected component rooted at a file with no parents. Depth is measured by following child links downward.
  • The computation reads from the in-memory index — no disk I/O is involved, so it runs quickly even on large vaults.
