Backup Manager scope selector settings
The availability of selections, options, and default values varies from report to report because not all selections and options apply to all reports.
Table: Scope selector field descriptions
Field name | Description |
---|---|
Time Period | The reporting time periods for this report. Your choices range from the last 5 minutes to the last 10 years. The options for this parameter depend on the report. For Backup Manager reports, the time period used to retrieve a report's data takes into account the time zone of the collected systems, if relevant. For example, if 15 minutes is selected for a report that has a backup server in Hong Kong, but the report is being generated in San Francisco, the time period reflects the 15-minute interval and the end time will be the end of the Hong Kong server's day. If there is no data collected from a different time zone, the Portal's local time is used. |
Start Date / End Date | If you want a static report, specify a start and end date in the date format: MM/DD/YYYY. If you want a dynamic report--that is, a report that changes as the underlying data changes--do not specify a start and end date, as the default always represents the current day. |
Hosts | Use this filter to specify what data will be included in a report.
See Report Scope . |
Group By | Use the drop-down list to specify how you want the data in the bar charts or tables to be grouped. The available options are dependent on the type of report. Some reports group by time, while others group data by either host, client, or policy. |
Parent/Child Jobs | Select from Parent, Child or Both. If a parent-child relationship exists, you can select to append Backup Manager job details with the details of parent or child jobs. |
Event Type | Job types:
|
Show Capacity in | Select the unit value to display the capacity in. Choose to allow for the dynamic calculation of the units in the report based on size.If you choose as an option and run the report, the data value will be displayed as follows:
|
Media Status | The Media Status parameter is included in the Tape Media Summary Scope Selector. You can specify which media should be included in the report by selecting one of the following options: All Media, Expired Media, Available Media, In Use Media or Full Media. The default setting for this parameter is All Media. |
Job Status | Applies to all backup event-driven reports. Select from the following event status options:
|
Backup Window | Select a custom backup window to be applied to the report. Typically, backups begin at the end of the business day, but they do not finish before the end of the day--thereby skewing the success statistics for the day. To more accurately reflect backup SLA metrics, you can re-define a day with a custom backup window. These custom backup windows are defined by the NetBackup IT Analytics Application Administrator. To create specific backup windows, |
Backup Policy Name Filter | This filter appears in the Job Summary and Job Volume Summary scope selectors. Enter a backup policy name to filter the report output by backup policy. This enables analysis of job status for a specific policy. |
Policy Type | Select the policy types for which you want to generate the report. If no policy is selected, report is generated for all the policies displayed in this field. This filter is available only for NetBackup product reports. The field is visible by default for the following reports:
For other reports the field can be added to the scope selector using steps described under Work with the dynamic template designer. |
# of Consecutive Errors | Use this filter to exclude consecutive errors. This option comes in handy when troubleshooting by limiting the report to hosts with excessive activity. Select a number from the drop-down list. Only sets of consecutive errors >= the specified number will be included in the report. |
Dynamic Report Start & End Times | Provides the user with the ability to specify dynamic report start and end day and time. Simply specify the number of days before or after the current day as well as the time for both the start and end day and times to be used to generate the report. |
Cascade into sub-groups | The scope selector default is to cascade to all child sub-groups when generating the report. If you prefer to report ONLY on the host group you selected, then uncheck Cascade into sub-groups. |
Filter by Common Attributes | Select this checkbox to have the report scope display attributes using "AND" logic. By selecting this feature, the report will display those results with the intersection of the selected criteria. If this checkbox is not selected, the report will display attributes using "OR" logic. For example, if you select attribute values, Campbell, Engineering, Cost Center 1 and select , the report will display only the results that contain all 3 attribute values. If you do not select , the report will display all results with attributes Campbell, Engineering, or Cost Center 1. |
Apply Attributes to Backup Servers | Select this checkbox to apply the attributes only to the backup servers, instead of hosts. |
