Alerts/Reporting
Alerts
The collector part of TSMManager maintains a realtime watch on all messages issued by your TSM server. If an error message is encountered, it will immediately send an e-mail to one or more receivers.
You decide what severity should trigger an alert and you also have a filtering capability to filter out "harmless" error messages.
You can setup certain users to receive an alert e-mail, if a node they are responsible for fails its scheduled backup.
Reporting
Once every 24 hours, at a time you decide, TSMManager will collect information about all abnormal events in your TSM server, format them and send them as an e-mail to one or more receivers. In addition to that, the report will be stored on the builtin webserver for easy access from a
webbrowser.
The information collected includes :
- Database backup not performed
- Database nearing full
- Maximum log usage above limit
- Client schedules not completed
- Clients without contact to the server
- Client backup activities
- Filespaces not backed up
- Volumes in unavailable state
- Full volumes with low utilization
- Volumes exceeding a number of read or write errors
- Failed processes
- Drives not online
- Tape storage pools with very high utilization
- Libraries with few scratch tapes left
- Severe, warning, error messages for the last 24 hours
All limits are user adjustable and you can select which items you want included in the report.
Below you see an example of what a report may look like :
