Configuring default settings for Job Manager

To configure default settings for Job Manager:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click Job Manager. In the Job Manager dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 133. Job Manager settings
Setting
Description

Job Keep Alive rate

Keep-alive messages are used to verify network connection between two NetVault Backup machines and to keep this connection intact. The keep‑alive rate setting controls how often keep-alive messages are sent between the Job Manager running on the server and the Data Plug-in running on a client.

The default value is 5 minutes. To change the interval, type or select a new value. The keep-alive rate is specified in number of minutes.

CLI utility nvjobcreate will return exit status

By default, the nvjobcreate utility returns the Job ID on success and “0” on failure.

When you select this check box, the nvjobcreate utility returns the exit code “0” on success and “1” on failure.

To determine the Job ID number when the nvjobcreate utility is configured to return the exit status, you can use the -jobidfile option. The Job ID number is written to the specified file. For more information about this option, see the Quest NetVault Backup CLI Reference Guide.

Allow VMware plugin jobs to be distributed on other VMware backup proxy

To distribute the backup jobs running on a Plug-in for VMware to the other VMware backup proxies, select this check box.

By default, this check box is clear.

Jobs threshold for VMware Backup Proxy

If you want to change the default threshold from 2, enter the applicable number for the jobs threshold for VMware Backup Proxy setting.

This value indicates the number of VMware proxy jobs that can run on the same VMware proxy before the next job is distributed to the same proxy or a different one, depending on the load balancing.

About Logging Daemon

The Logging Daemon (nvlogdaemon) runs on the NetVault Backup Server. This process starts along with the NetVault Backup Service.

The Logging Daemon manages the log messages generated by various NetVault Backup processes and writes these messages to the NetVault Database. Log messages contain information that can be used for diagnosing and troubleshooting problems. The Logging Daemon also performs periodic disk space checks, and issues alert messages when the space usage level reaches the Warning or Critical Threshold. These checks apply to the NetVault Backup Home, Database, Logs, and Reports directories.

You can modify the Logging Daemon settings from the Change Settings page.

Configuring disk space alert thresholds

The Logging Daemon performs periodic disk space checks, and issues alert messages when the space usage level reaches the Warning or Critical Threshold. These checks are performed for the following directories: NetVault Backup Home, Database, Logs, and Reports directories.The Warning and Critical thresholds are set to 85 and 95 percent of the total disk space, respectively. The default interval between two disk space check events is one hour.

You can use the configuration settings for Logging Daemon to change the alert thresholds and default interval for disk space checks.

 
* 
NOTE: You must restart the NetVault Backup Service to apply any changes to the Warning and Critical Threshold values.
To change the default alert threshold settings:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click Logging Daemon. In the Logging Daemon dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 134. Disk space alert threshold settings
Setting
Description

Disk Space Warning Threshold

Type or select the Warning Threshold level. The default value is 85 percent of the total disk space.

When the disk space usage reaches or exceeds the Warning Threshold, the following events occur:

•
The Logging Daemon reports an error.
•
The Auditor Daemon logs a message.
NetVault Backup raises the Home Drive Becoming Full event.

Disk Space Critical Threshold

Type or select the Critical Threshold level. The default value is 95 percent of the total disk space.

When the disk space usage reaches or exceeds the Critical Threshold, the following events occur:

•
NetVault Backup sends an error message to the Event Viewer on Window and syslog on Linux and UNIX.
•
The Logging Daemon reports an error.
NOTE: If the disk space is critically low when the NetVault Backup Service starts, the errors are only logged through the Event Viewer or syslog.
•
The NetVault Backup Service shuts down automatically and the service status is set to “Stopped Disk Full.”
You can restart the service only when the disk usage percentage drops below the configured Critical Threshold level.

Time interval between disk space full checks

Type or select the interval between two disk space check events. It is specified in number of hours. The default value is one hour.

To disable disk space checks, set the value to zero (0).

NOTE: Regardless of this setting, the Logging Daemon performs disk space check when the NetVault Backup Service is restarted.
