Report Templates in OpsCenter

OpsCenter provides a set of Report Templates or standard or canned reports that have parameters set to default values. You can modify the default parameters and generate reports to view the required data. OpsCenter reports help you to have a good visibility into your data protection environment.

See Reports > Report Templates.

Report Templates are categorized as follows:

Backup Reports

The backup reports show the information that is related to backups, such as success rate, job status, and protected bytes.

This category also includes recovery reports.

Note:

If you select Reports > Activity Planning > Job Size in the OpsCenter user interface, the report that appears displays the wrong client name. Instead of showing the client names, a list of backed up VM images is displayed in this report. In addition, the list of VM images may not be accurate.

Catalog Reports

These reports provide details about the catalogs.

Chargeback Reports

The chargeback reports provide details of the backup services expenditures.

Using these reports you can track the backup and the recovery usage and the associated cost. You can calculate the cost of data protection management and chargeback to customers and business units.

Client Reports

These reports provide details about clients such as backup status, restore job details, or summary dashboard.

Cloud Reports

These reports provide details about NetBackup cloud storage servers.

The following cloud providers are supported by OpsCenter:

  • Amazon S3

  • AT&T

  • Rackspace

Note:

Among all Amazon S3-compatible cloud providers that NetBackup supports, OpsCenter can monitor and generate reports for Amazon S3 only.

Disk & Tape Device Activity Reports

Disk-based data protection (DBDP) reports show disk pool capacity and its usage, performance of clients on LAN or SAN, NetBackup storage lifecycle Map

Hold Reports

Hold reports are a part of NetBackup Search. The Hold report category is visible only if you have added a valid NetBackup Search license key in OpsCenter and when you log on as a Security Administrator.

Media Reports

These reports provide media data, such as tape count or usage.

Performance Reports

These reports provide details of throughput.

Policy Reports

These reports show all details about the backup job policies in NetBackup.

Restore Reports

These reports provide details about restore operation.

Storage Lifecycle Policy

The SLP reports in OpsCenter show an end-to-end view of the SLP process that includes backup to import of duplicated image into different NetBackup domains. The SLP reports help you to verify if each step in the SLP is executed and identify the possible bottlenecks.

Workload Analyzer

The Workload Analyzer report gives information about the activities that are done across a period of seven days. The activities are number of jobs running at a given period of time and the amount of data that is transferred during this period. The report contains 168 data points of analysis in terms of the activities that are done for each hour for a period of seven days.
