About the Dashboard view
The dashboard in NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console provides an overview of the appliance cluster configuration and its components and services. Use the infrastructure management console Dashboard view to monitor the overall health of your cluster.
You can log in to the Dashboard only if you have been assigned the appliance administrator role. If a user does not have the Appliance administrator role, then the user is directed to the screen in the NetBackup Flex Scale GUI. Other views are not visible to such a user.
The following figure shows the dashboard for a cluster deployed with NetBackup primary and media servers:
The following figure shows the dashboard for a media only cluster:
The Dashboard view displays the following information:
The Alerts area displays information about the most recent operations including issues that you may need to take action on. To view a more detailed list of all the alerts, click in the Alerts box.
The Storage area displays an aggregated view of the storage utilization on the appliance. If the cluster is deployed with NetBackup primary server and media servers, the Storage area provides information about the total storage available to all the cluster nodes and the disk space that is consumed by the workload backups and the NetBackup catalog. If the cluster is deployed with only media servers, the Storage area provides information about the total storage available to all the cluster nodes and the disk space that is consumed by the workload backups. To view a more detailed list of all the disk space utilization, click in the Storage box.
Note:
You may see a difference between the total available storage capacity and the actual usable storage space. This happens because NetBackup Flex Scale uses some of that space to store erasure coded data to protect against disk and node failures.
The Security meter shows the security status of the appliance and offers recommendations to improve the appliance security.
The NetBackup services area displays the status of the NetBackup services that are running on the appliance. If the cluster is deployed with NetBackup primary server and media servers, the Services area includes services such as NetBackup primary server, media servers, and MSDP engines. If only media servers are deployed, the NetBackup services area includes services such as the media servers and MSDP engines.
The Infrastructure services area displays the status of the cluster services such as replication, AutoSupport, and API gateway.
The Infrastructure area displays an aggregated view of the infrastructure components on the appliance. This includes the number of cluster nodes and their health, the total number of storage disks and their health, and the status of the public and private network that is configured on the appliance.
The Data reduction area displays information about the data space optimization that is achieved by the NetBackup deduplication engine.
The Storage licensing area displays the license type and the expiration date of all the added licenses.
The Performance area displays the details about the IOPS, throughput that is currently being achieved in the cluster, and latency for read and write operations.
The Resource monitoring area displays the aggregate data about the CPU usage, the memory usage, and the network usage in the cluster.
