DPA Avamar replication monitoring
We have dozens of destination and source Avamars and we are trying to effectively monitor replication. The clone reports are helpful but there are no good summary reports. For example we would like to see something like this as a starting point.
| Source Avamar | Destination Avamar | Number of Uncloned backups |
|---|---|---|
or even
|
Destination Avamar | Backup client | Number of Uncloned backups | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Has anyone had any experience of this kind of report or something similar?
Many thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? We're really struggling to monitor Avamar replication when dealing with large numbers of grids - it's becoming unmanageable.

I also was not able to get anything good from dpa.
but with some help was able to setup in the avamar admin's crontab in /home/admin a script
#!/bin/bash
cd ~
( . /etc/profile && /usr/local/avamar/bin/replcnt.sh )>/home/admin/replcnt.txt
/home/admin/sendtxtmult.pl /home/admin/replcnt.txt
where the output is replcnt.txt
and the sendtxtmult.pl emails it to me ( I don't know if this was a standard pl script or if it was made for me - we made a change to have it email my backup group)
I get a report for each Avamar grid
/myvmdomaininavamar/VirtualMachines/Windows/Dev/myservername_UAQNVBFvoh1KgUAkdJbnI 71 69 -2
so here we see my vm in the domain windows/dev has 71 back up images and 69 are replicated it is 2 behind.
you can run that replcnt.sh at command line to see the report... then work on getting cron to run it and email it to you.

There is no report like this in DPA today, but it's a great idea and I am sure that it could be added in for a future release.
Please would you consider raising a RFE via EMC PowerLink with the suggested report so that DPA product management can pass this on to the engineering team for consideration.
Thanks,
Gareth

Hi,
Could you please share your script with us?

so you don't have /usr/local/avamar/bin/replcnt.sh on your server? I thought it was a supplied script on the server. And an EMC tech just make the email part for me.
as I did not write it and it seems to be very involved I need to read it before I share someone elses work.
that and perl script /home/admin/sendtxtmult.pl
unless someone from EMC can say it is ok to share it.
my cron entry is in admin's crontab
15 11 * * * /home/admin/send-replcnt-rpt.sh
below is the script run by cron
#!/bin/bash
cd ~
( . /etc/profile && /usr/local/avamar/bin/replcnt.sh )>/home/admin/replcnt.txt
/home/admin/sendtxtmult.pl /home/admin/replcnt.txt
this is the sendtxtmult.pl for the email (see attached - it was saved as a .txt but you should save it as a .pl on the server if it is not already there.)

Hi
Please check the following link from ManageEngine OpStor. It can monitor SNMP traps sent for every DPA activity from Avamar.
Monitoring EMC Avamar Backup Servers
Hope this helps..

Starting in DPA 6.1, the Clone Operations report finally started reporting on Avamar replications successfully.
Thanks!
