Description

Device activity

This area shows data transfers from clients to jobs on the left and jobs to storage devices on the right. Gray lines depict data flow; the thicker the line, the higher the rate of flow. Boxes represent clients, jobs, and devices; the taller the box, the higher the rate of flow.

You can use the following settings available in the Detail area to modify the data flow view:

•
Devices: Select this option to view data transfers from all jobs to a storage device.
•
Job groups: Select this option to view data transfers from a job group (plug-in or policy) to a storage device. The job group can be selected in the Grouping list.
•
Job: Select this option to view data transfers from client to jobs and from jobs to storage devices.
•
Focus and Un-focus: Use these buttons to show and hide data flow details for a specific device. Click the device box, and click Focus. To hide the details for that device, click Un-focus.
•
Pause and Play: Use these buttons to pause and resume data flow updates. To stop data flow updates, click Pause, and to resume updates, click Play.

The transfer rate shows “unknown” for backups running on older NetVault Clients.

Summary

This area shows the following information: total active transfers, active clients, active devices, current overall throughput, hottest transfer, and hottest target.

You can click a box representing the client, job, or storage device in the Device Activity area to view information about that component.
