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
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Indexed Nodes | Number 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 Depth | The average maximum depth across all trees. |
| Max Tree Depth | The depth of the deepest tree in the vault. |
| Nodes with Parents | Files that have at least one parent link. |
| Nodes with Children | Files that have at least one child link. |
| Nodes with Related | Files 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.
