Configuring a default printer for notifications

To use the Print Report method on Windows, you can either configure a default printer or set the variable NVPRINTER while setting up a notification method. You can configure the default printer from the Change Settings page.

To configure a default printer for notifications:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the Configuration page, click Server Settings.
3
Under User Interface, click Notification. In the Notification dialog box, under Default Printer, configure the following setting:
•
Default Printer Name: To configure a default printer for the Print Report notification method, type the printer name. Specify the exact string that is used to identify the printer in the Windows OS.
This setting is only required on Windows-based NetVault Backup Servers.
4
Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.

Configuring network manager host settings for notifications

Before you can use SNMP Trap method, you must configure the network manager host settings. You can configure these settings from the Change Settings page.

To configure Network Manager host settings for notifications:

In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the Configuration page, click Server Settings.
3
Under User Interface, click Notification. In the Notification dialog box, under SNMP Traps, configure the following settings.
 
Table 141. Default settings for SNMP Trap notifications

Description

Trap Target Host

Type the network name or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the Network Manager host to which the SNMP traps are to be sent.

Port Number

The default listener port for SNMP traps is port number 162. If the host is configured to listen on a different port, specify the port number.

Community String

An SNMP community string is a password that is used to authenticate messages that are sent between the Network Manager Host and the agent. The community string is included in every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent.

This Community String is set to “public,” which is the default read-only community string for most network devices. We recommend that you modify this default string and set a new password for SNMP traps.

About reporting utility

The NetVault Backup reporting utility provides a selection of canned reports that can be generated and viewed in HTML, text, and Comma Separated Value (CSV) formats. For more information about reports, see Reporting in NetVault Backup.

NetVault Backup uses the Statistics Manager (nvstatsmngr) and Reports Database Manager (nvrepdbmngr) processes to gather and transmit data for the canned reports:

•
Statistics Manager: This process runs on the NetVault Backup Server and Client machines. The Statistics Manager collects drive statistics, event history, media requests, server capacity, and transfer information.
•
Reports Database Manager: This process runs only on the NetVault Backup Server. The Reports Database Manager polls the Statistics Manager at regular intervals to retrieve the collected data, and writes the data to the Reports Database. It provides the information in the reports database to the reporting utility and performs periodic purging of the reports database.

You can customize the report templates and change the default settings for the Statistics Manager and Reports Database Manager from the NetVault Backup WebUI.
