PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 for Cyber Recovery User Guide

Cyber Recovery UI

The Cyber Recovery UI is the primary tool for performing and monitoring Cyber Recovery operations. It is a web application that enables you to define, run, and monitor policies and policy outcomes based on your user role.

Depending on your user role, the Cyber Recovery UI includes:

• Masthead navigation icons that provide information or enable you to perform administrative tasks.
• A Main Menu that enables you to access content panes from which you perform operations such as:
  • Managing assets, policies, recoveries, and users
  • Generating and scheduling reports
  • Viewing alerts, events, and jobs
• Dashboard tiles that provide alert notifications that facilitate troubleshooting and error correction, Cyber Recovery vault status, and a cumulative job type report

The following figure shows the dashboard for an admin user in the Cyber Recovery UI:

1. The masthead navigation provides icons that enable you to view notifications and additional information, set system and user settings, and access the Getting Started wizard and online help. The only option for a dashboard user is to log out of the Cyber Recovery UI.
2. The Main Menu provides access to content panes from which you can perform tasks and operations depending on your user role. It is not available to a dashboard user.
3. The Alerts|Security tile provides details about unacknowledged alerts that identify anomalies in vault activity. For more detailed information about a specific alert, click its summary. To see all unacknowledged and older alerts, click View All to be redirected to the Alerts and Events content pane. The View All link is not displayed for dashboard users.
   NOTE:When the alert count reaches 1000 alerts, the UI displays the value as 1 K. When there are more than 1000 alerts, the UI displays the value as 1 K+ until the count reaches 2000 alerts. The UI displays the value as 2 K and then 2 K+ when there are more than 2000 alerts. For every 1000 alerts, the count increments accordingly. To see the exact number of alerts, hover over the count value so that the UI displays a tooltip with the number.
4. The Alerts|System tile provides details about unacknowledged system alerts. For more detailed information about a specific alert, click its summary. To see all unacknowledged and older alerts, click View All to be redirected to the Alerts and Events content pane. The View All link is not displayed for dashboard users.

5. The Status tile shows the current state of the Cyber Recovery vault. It enables admin and security officer users to secure the Cyber Recovery vault manually if a network event occurs when it is open and stop all replication operations. A timer indicates the length of time that the Cyber Recovery vault is secured. Only a security officer can release the vault when it is secured.

   The tile also displays the five most recent jobs and their progress. For information about monitoring and manually securing the Cyber Recovery vault, see the Monitoring the Cyber Recovery vault status and Manually securing and releasing the Cyber Recovery vault topics.

   NOTE:A dashboard user cannot secure the vault.
6. The Jobs tile provides the status for a cumulative list of Protection, System, and Recovery job types in the Cyber Recovery environment. Click the vertical ellipsis to change the timeframe and job type that are displayed. The heading and the pie chart change to reflect your choices. Click outside of the drop-down list to close it.
   NOTE:The timeframe and job type that you select are retained while you navigate the Cyber Recovery UI content panes and when you log in again. If you are logged in as the admin user, for more detailed information and to see older jobs:
   • Click the down arrow next to a job status and then click a link, which redirects you to the Jobs content pane for that type of job.
   • Click View All, which redirects you to the Jobs content pane for the selected job type. A single job type must be selected to enable the View All link.
   These settings are maintained and are set when you log in again.
   NOTE:The filter options and redirection are not available to security officers and dashboard users.
