Summary View for monitoring NetBackup alerts

The Summary View gives an overall summary of alerts by severity. It contains the Alert Summary by Severity section which 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.

Note:

The Summary View only displays active alerts (these are the alerts that have not been cleared).

Moving your mouse over the pie chart displays 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.

An option called Ignore View filter has been added in the View drop-down list under Monitor > Alerts. When you select Ignore View filter from the View Pane, all active alerts in the last 24 hours are displayed in the Monitor > Alerts view regardless of the views on which the alert policy is based. For example, selecting Ignore View filter displays an alert that is based on a view which has been deleted, or an alert that is based on a view for which you do not have access now. When you select a view from the View drop-down list (including Ignore View filter), the last 24 hours data is displayed by default.

Note that the Alert Summary pane at the bottom-left displays all the alerts that exist in the OpsCenter database. This means that the Alert Summary pane displays all the alerts regardless of the views on which the alert policy is based.

Note:

The Alert Summary by Severity section can also be viewed from Monitor > Overview.

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