About notifications
To make NetBackup administrators aware of important system events, NetBackup regularly queries system logs and displays notifications about the events.
Note:
Job events are not included with these notifications. See job details in the Activity Monitor for information about job events.
A icon is located at the top right in the web UI. You can click the icon to open the Notifications window and view a list of critical notifications 10 at a time. If a number is displayed with the icon, it indicates how many unseen critical messages exist. After you have opened the window, the number is reset.
From the window, you can choose to see a more comprehensive list of all notifications. Each event has a category for its NetBackup or external component and is assigned a severity level:
Error
Critical
Warning
Information
Debug
You can sort, filter, and search the list. The comprehensive list also lets you review details about each event. The details include the full description as well as any appropriate extended attributes.
NetBackup notifications are not available if the NetBackup Messaging Broker (nbmqbroker) is not running. See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide for information about restarting the service.
