To configure backup anomaly detection settings

1. On the left, click Detection and reporting > Anomaly detection.
2. On the top right, click Anomaly detection settings > System anomaly detection configuration.
3. On the System anomaly detection configuration screen, configure the following System anomaly detection settings:

   • Select the Detect clients that are offline with suspicious error codes check box to generate an anomaly alert when NetBackup detects that a client is offline under suspicious circumstances.

   • Select the Detect anomalies for image expiration operations check box to generate an anomaly when unusual activity occurs with image expiration.

4. Configure the following Rules-based anomaly detection setting:

   Select the Detect anomalies using NetBackup anomaly detection rules check box to list the predefined rules or the criteria for which you want to generate anomalies.

   For example: Storage server is set to null STU, Clients removed from the policy, or Token deleted by user.

   The following details each of the predefined rules are displayed:

   • Rule name

   • Description

   • Severity

   • Version

   • Enabled

   You need to download the rules that you want to use. Go to the Veritas Download Center to download the rules file (.zip) and store it on your local computer.

   Note:

   NetBackup does not ship any standard rules by default.

   Click Upload rules to select the rules file that you have downloaded. All the latest rules are listed in the Rules-based anomaly detection section.

5. Select the rules that you want to enable and for which you want to generate anomalies.

   Click Enable.

   NetBackup generates anomalies that meet the rule criteria.
