Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Viewing the Alert Summary by Severity

The Alert Summary by Severity section shows an overall distribution of alerts by severity for the current View pane and time frame selection.

This information is shown in a pie chart as well as a table. Data for the last 24 hours is shown by default. You can also view data for the last 48 hours or 72 hours.

See Controlling the scope of Monitor views.

A pie chart with different colors represents the alert distribution by severity in this section. Each color of the pie chart represents how alerts are distributed in your environment as per the alert severity. You can also view the color code summary in this section to know the colors that represent different severity.

Moving your pointer over the pie chart gives the number and percentage of alerts with a particular severity in your NetBackup environment. For example, pointing to the green color in the pie chart shows that in the last 24 hours, 200 alerts, or 17% alerts in your environment are critical.

You can drill down from this section to see details for alert categories.

To view alerts by severity

  1. In the OpsCenter console, select Monitor > Overview.
  2. In the Alert Summary by Severity section, do either of the following:
    • Click the number of alerts (link) for a particular alert severity from the table. For example, click the number that is shown for Critical alerts.

      Or

    • Click a colored section of the pie chart that corresponds to a particular alert severity. For example, click the red section of the pie chart to view details for Critical alerts.
