NetBackup IT Analytics reports search
NetBackup IT Analytics delivers unified backup and storage insights, enabling you to increase data reliability and reduce costs with consolidated reporting and automated alerts.
The NetBackup IT Analytics Report Reference guide describes the available out-of-the-box reports. It also defines the process of creating the reports.
Using the search functionality in the NetBackup IT Analytics, you can find the required out-of-the-box and / or OpsCenter reports.
For example:
Access the NetBackup IT Analytics portal.
In the Search bar, type Job Status Summary and press Enter. The portal displays the searched results.
Click the required report hyperlink and then click Details. The portal displays the detailed description of the reports at the bottom of the page as highlighted in the image below.
Below is the table listing OpsCenter reports which are the same or equivalent to NetBackup IT Analytics out-of-the-box reports.
Note:
There could be few NetBackup IT Analytics reports that require scope modifications of the reports. The scope can be modified in the Scope Selector dialog box to get the desired results.
