Configure system anomaly detection settings

After you enable anomaly detection, anomaly data gathering, detection service, and events are enabled. You can configure specific settings to detect system anomalies in your domain.

See About system anomaly detection.

To configure system anomaly detection settings

  1. On the left, click Detection and reporting > Anomaly detection.
  2. On the top right, click Anomaly detection settings > System anomaly detection configuration.
  3. On the System anomaly detection configuration screen, configure the following settings:
    • Risk engine-based anomaly detection

      See Configure risk engine-based anomaly detection.

    • System anomaly detection > Monitor database corruption in workloads during job failures

      This anomaly monitors database corruption in workloads like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle during backup job failures.

      Select the checkbox to generate an anomaly alert when NetBackup detects backup job failures because of database corruption in workloads like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.

      If database corruption in a workload is detected, status code 5464 is attributed to the parent job that is displayed in the Activity monitor > Jobs tab.

      See View a job.

      Click the status code number to view information about this status code in the Cohesity Knowledge Base.

      See the NetBackup Status Codes Reference Guide.

      Note:

      For detecting database corruption in Microsoft SQL Server, the 'Microsoft SQL Server checksum' option must be set to 'Fail on Error' during MS SQL Server policy configuration.

      See View backup anomalies.

    • Rules-based anomaly detection

      See Configure rules-based anomaly detection.
