The Dashboard window provides a high-level view of the overall state of the PowerProtect Data Manager system through six widgets. The following table describes each widget.
Dashboard widget | Description |
---|---|
Jobs | Protection Jobs | Restore Jobs | System Jobs | Asset Level | This widget provides a color-coded status of backup, restore, and system jobs that are in progress or have been performed in
PowerProtect Data Manager over a specified period.
Jobs | Protection displays by default, showing jobs performed over the last 24 hours.
Click the three vertical dots at the top of the widget to:
Click a color in the chart to view details about jobs with a specific status, or click the links next to each status. This will open the appropriate Jobs window, which is filtered to display the jobs that match the selected status and time period. From this window, you can manage jobs, view more details, and search jobs. |
Assets | Count and Assets | Size | Details in this widget include the number of protected assets, unprotected assets, and excluded assets for each asset source that has been added and enabled in
PowerProtect Data Manager. You can also view the total number of assets for each asset source, and the total size of these assets.
Assets | Count displays by default, and the asset types are sorted based on the percentage of the total asset count that are unprotected, or the total size of the unprotected assets for the asset source, depending on the view.
Click the three vertical dots at the top of the widget to:
Hover over a color to view the exact number of protected, unprotected, and excluded assets and the total size of these assets. Click a color to open the window, which is filtered to display the assets that match the selected status. |
Health | This widget provides a score for the overall
PowerProtect Data Manager system health (Good, Fair, or Poor). Health details and status are provided for the following categories:
Click View All to view more details about the system health issues for all categories. |
Compliance | This widget provides compliance verification statistics for protection policies that are linked to a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The widget also identifies the number of assets within these policies that are compliant and non-compliant.
Click the three vertical dots at the top of the widget to select one or more asset sources from the list. You can display compliance statistics for a single asset source, multiple asset sources, or all asset sources. By default, the total count and number of protection policies for compliant and non-compliant assets displays for all asset sources. Click View All to open the window, where you can view more details about the specific policies and assets that are non-compliant. |
Capacity | Active Tier and Capacity | Cloud Tier | This widget displays the capacity status of the DD protection storage systems that are associated with this instance of
PowerProtect Data Manager for the active tier and cloud tier. Based on the available capacity on each DD system, a color coded bar graph displays the number of systems that are
Good (>20% available),
Fair (<20% available), or
Poor (<10%).
Click the three vertical dots at the top of the widget to:
Click View All to open the window, where you can view more details about specific protection storage systems. |
Space Optimization | This widget provides information about how efficient the active tier storage capacity is on individual DD systems associated with this instance of
PowerProtect Data Manager. Efficiency is determined based on the size of pre-compression data compared with the size of post-compression data on the system.
Click the three vertical dots at the top of the widget to select a DD system from the list. The widget updates to display space optimization statistics for the selected DD system. |
