About the Dashboard view
The NetBackup Flex Scale Dashboard provides an overview of the appliance cluster configuration and its components and services. Use the infrastructure 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 ScaleGUI. Other views are not visible to such a user.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. It provides information on the total storage available to all the cluster nodes and the disk space that is consumed by the workload backups and the NetBackup catalog. 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 Services area displays the status of the NetBackup services that are running on the appliance. This includes services such as the NetBackup master server, the media servers, and the storage servers.
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 Performance area displays the aggregate data about the CPU usage, the memory usage, and the throughput that is currently being achieved in the cluster.
The Data reduction area displays information about the data space optimization that is achieved by the NetBackup deduplication engine.
