NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Job monitoring

Use the Jobs node in the Activity monitor to monitor the jobs in your NetBackup environment. The default view for jobs is the List view that contains the non-hierarchical list of all the jobs. You can also use the Hierarchical view to see the hierarchy of parent and child jobs. The role of the parent job is to initiate requested tasks in the form of children jobs.

Hierarchy view

 

RBAC permissions for jobs

The type of jobs that you can view and manage depend on the RBAC role that you have. For example, a workload administrator (such as the Default VMware Administrator role) can view and manage only jobs for that workload. In contrast, the Administrator role lets you view and manage all NetBackup jobs.

See Workloads that require a custom RBAC role for specific job permissions.

Job hierarchy view

If you have an RBAC role that allows access to jobs, you can see the jobs list in the job hierarchy view. For example, the Default VMware Administrator role lets you see VMware jobs in the hierarchy view. However, if you only have access to one or more VMs (asset-level access), no jobs display in the job hierarchy view.

See Default RBAC roles.
