NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Create a jobs filter

You can create specific filters based on one or more query criteria.

To create a jobs filter

  1. On the left, select Activity monitor. Then select the Jobs tab.
  2. In the toolbar, select the Filter icon.
  3. If you have not created any filters yet, on the left select Create filter.

    Otherwise, select Actions > Create.

  4. Enter a name and an optional description for the filter.
  5. Choose if you want the filter to be Private or Public.

    Private

    All new filters are private by default. These filters appear in "My list" in the Manage filters page. Only the owner can view a private filter.

    Public

    Public filters are available to all NetBackup users. Any user can view, copy, export, or pin a public filter.

  6. In the Query pane, use the drop-down lists to create a condition.

    For example, to view all jobs with the VMware policy type, Policy type = VMware.

  7. Add any additional conditions for the filter or add a sub-query to apply to a condition.

    For example, assume that you want to view all completed jobs that have a status code of 196 or 239. Create the following query:

    State = Done
    AND 
       (Status code = 196 
       OR 
       Status code = 239)
  8. Choose from the following options:
    • To save this query and return to the Jobs list, select Save.

    • To save this query and apply the filter you just created, select Save and apply.

 

Example 1. Query filter for all jobs with the VMware policy type.

Example 2. Query filter for all jobs that are done and have a status code of 196 or 239.
