Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

About creating (or changing) an alert policy

You can create alert policies to detect when something goes wrong with NetBackup and troubleshoot it. You can create policies to automate responses to key events in your enterprise. For example, you can create a policy to alert you when a job fails on a specific master server. You can monitor for frozen media and email the operator when the number of frozen media exceeds a threshold value. You can then take corrective action.

OpsCenter periodically retrieves data from NetBackup based on notifications and a wait time (of up to 15 minutes). This time delay between the NetBackup Activity Monitor and the OpsCenter console can mean that many intermediate job states may be lost.

The following topics provide more information about alerts.

See OpsCenter Alert conditions.

See Additional information on job policy change condition.

See Adding an alert policy.

See About understanding alert counts in the Monitor view.
