Reporting, Monitoring and Alerting

Question

IDPA has Reporting as well as Monitoring and Alerting capabilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORTING: Data Protection Advisor (DPA) is the primary place for Reporting in IDPA. https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000019765/dpa-how-to-schedule-reports?lang=en Here is short video giving demonstrating scheduling reports in DPA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcw_i-QsKx0   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   MONITORING: Monitoring is typically done with the various GUI interfaces available in IDPA: ACM and DPC are good places to see the entire IDPA system overview, including all the components. Then there are also:  Avamar AUI or Admin (java) / DD Sys Mgr / iDRAC (HW and F/W) / DPS / DPA / iDRAC etc.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   ALERTING: SRS (formerly ESRS) is the primary mechanism for Alerting in IDPA. Here are some useful facts about SRS with IDPA: SRS can be configured during initial IDPA deployment or anytime afterwards. If it has not been configured: go to acm dashboard and click on the Settings icon and select Configure SRS and complete your info as shown here:     When registering IDPA per above, the following components are registered (no additional config is needed for these): ACM (Appliance Configuration Manager) Avamar (Backup Server) Data Domain (Protection Storage) DPA (Data Protection Advisor) All four components will send Alerts to SRS as needed, but only Avamar and Data Domain will also send daily status reports.   Here are some useful SRS references: Here is the Dell Support SRS home page- you can search for IDPA here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/emc-secure-remote-services/docs IDPA is registered with ESRS but the 4 enabled components of the IDPA are not Sending Connect Home Messages: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000060349/idpa-is-registered-with-esrs-but-the-4-enabled-co...
