DataProtect - Active Snapshots By Object

This tabular report provides a comprehensive overview and detailed breakdown of active DataProtect snapshots managed by Cohesity, organized by object. The main summary table presents high-level information such as cluster, protection group, environment, object name, snapshot count, and the range of snapshot dates. The drilldown table offers granular details for each snapshot, including status, timing, deduplication and compression ratios, read size, duration, and storage resource. Users can specify their preferred units for size-related fields, enhancing flexibility. The report enables users to monitor snapshot activity, retention, and storage efficiency across various environments and objects.

This report enables administrators and stakeholders to monitor, audit, and optimize their DataProtect snapshot landscape. By providing both summary and detailed views, it helps identify trends in snapshot creation, retention, and storage efficiency. The ability to specify size units allows for tailored reporting to meet organizational standards. The report supports compliance, capacity planning, troubleshooting, and operational oversight by highlighting snapshot status, retention periods, and storage resource utilization, ultimately reducing risk and improving data protection management.
