Report Data

The following table describes the data displayed in the Data table. Use the search bar to filter the data by object name, protection status, source, or system name.

You can add or remove columns. For more information, see Customize Table Columns.

Column Name Description
Object Name The name of the object.
Protection Status The protection status of the object.
Source The name of the registered source.
System The name of the cluster on which the object is registered.
Logical Data

The combined total of data in the objects that are protected by Cohesity. These metrics are different depending on workload type.

  • VMs—The data size reported by VMware is the provisioned amount, not the actual data residing in the VM. For example, if a VM is provisioned for 1 TB but contains only 100 GB of data, VMware reports it as 1 TB.

  • All Other Workloads—The data size reported is the actual front end data residing on the server. If a server with 1 TB capacity contains 100 GB of data, the server reports 100 GB.

Cohesity does not include unprotected objects in these metrics.
Organization The name specified for the organization when added to the cluster.
