About the Activity Monitor
Use the Activity Monitor in the NetBackup Administration Console to monitor and control the following aspects of NetBackup:
Jobs | See About the Jobs tab. The job details are described in the online Help. |
Services or Daemons | |
Processes | |
Drives | See About the Drives tab. |
Error Logs |
As long as the Activity Monitor is active in the NetBackup Administration Console, the bpjobd daemon supplies the job activity status to the Activity Monitor.
Updates to the Activity Monitor occur as jobs are initiated, updated, and completed. Without a refresh cycle, updates occur instantaneously.
The status bar appears in the Jobs tab, at the top of the Activity Monitor Details pane.
Note:
The option on the View menu is useful for displaying in Activity Monitor only those jobs with specified characteristics. For example, the jobs that were started before a specific date; jobs in the queued state; jobs with status completion codes within a specified range.
The status bar displays the following information:
The primary server on which the jobs reside.
The total number of jobs.
The number of jobs in each of the job states: Active, Queued, Waiting for Retry, Suspended, Incomplete, and Done.
The number of jobs currently selected.
The number of NetBackup services or daemons that run.
The number of drives and the state of each (Active, Down).
The numbers always reflect the actual number of jobs, even when the filter is used.
