Description

Job activity charts

This area shows the summary for current jobs, policy jobs, and regular jobs in the form of bar charts:

•

Current Activity: The individual bars represent the number of jobs that are in active, waiting, pending, and scheduled states.

•

Policies: The individual bars represent the number of policy jobs that have completed successfully, completed with warnings, and failed. The Healthy count of policies shows the number of policy jobs that have completed successfully when all the jobs in the policy are successful. It shows 0 count if one or more jobs in the policy have warnings or errors.

•

Regular Jobs: The individual bars represent the number of regular jobs that have completed successfully, completed with warnings, and failed.

You can click a job activity to display the job details for that category in the job activity table. For example, you can click Policies in the Job Activity area to display the policy jobs in the job activity table.

You can click a bar in the activity chart area to display the job details for that category in the activity table. For example, you can click the Active bar in the Current Activity area to display the jobs that are in progress.

To return to the default view type for the activity table, click the View all current activity link.

Job activity table

By default, the table lists all current job activities (All activity category).

For the All Activity category, you can view the following information: Start Time (also shows start date), Job Title, Plugin, Client, Type, ID/Instance/Phase (shows the instance and phase), Next runtime (date and time when the next instance is scheduled to run), Progress (current or average transfer rate), Current Status (current status of a job instance), and Last Exit Status (exist status of latest completed job instance).

You can also add or remove following additional columns using the column menu: Policy Name, ID (shows only the job ID), Instance (shows only the job instance), Phase (shows only the job phase), Selection Set, Plugin Options Set, Schedule Set, Source Set, Target Set, Advanced Options Set, Duration (Displays the time in hours: minutes: seconds to complete the operation for backup/restore/reporting). For more information, see Sorting records in NetVault Backup WebUI.

The following job status light icons are displayed in the current status and last exit status columns based on the exit status:

•

Red light: Aborted, Died, Failed, Did not run

•

Yellow light: Warnings, Stopped, and Waiting for media

•

Violet: Acknowledged

The following row background colors are displayed for a job based on current status:

•

Green: Running

•

Blue: Scheduled

You can change the view type and also filter the records displayed in the table:

Change the view type: To view the job details for a different job category, click the corresponding bar in the activity chart area. For example, to view the jobs that have completed with warnings, click the Warnings bar in the Regular Jobs area.

By default, the table is sorted by Start Time (descending order).

You can sort the table by one or more columns, as required. For more information, see Sorting records in NetVault Backup WebUI.

To set the filter options (For more information on table filter options for Job Status page, see Table 7), view the page size setting, column sort order, applied filters in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower- right corner of the table.

For more information, see Customizing tables in NetVault Backup WebUI.


	NOTE: Acknowledged jobs are not part of regular sorting. So, sorting results display normal jobs first and then acknowledged jobs.

You can use the Search option to filter the table data and quickly find entries that contain the specified string in any column values. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string.
