Viewing events for a protected machine

On the Events page, you can view the jobs that occurred or are in progress for the protected machine you selected. Buttons at the top of the page let you navigate to lists of jobs in each of the three categories of activities:

  • Tasks. A job that the Rapid Recovery Core must perform to operate successfully.
  • Alerts. A notification related to a task or event that includes errors and warning.
  • Journal. A composite of all protected machine tasks and alerts.

The following table includes descriptions of each element on the Events page.

Status icons

Each icon represents a different job status. For alerts and tasks, clicking one of the icons lets you filter the list by that status, essentially generating a report. Clicking the icon a second time removes the filter for that status. You can filter by more than one status. Statuses include:

  • Active. A job that is in progress.
  • Queued. A job that is waiting for another job to complete before it can initiate.
  • Waiting. A job waiting for your approval or completion, such as a seed drive. (For more information about seed drives, see Replication.)
  • Complete. A job that completed successfully.
  • Failed. A job that failed and did not complete.

Service icon

This button adds services jobs to the list of jobs. When you click this icon, a smaller service icon appears on each status icon, which lets you filter by service jobs that have those statuses (if any exist). Examples of services jobs include deleting index files or removing a machine from protection.

Export type drop-down list

The drop-down list includes the formats to which you can export the event report. Available for tasks only. It includes the following formats:

  • PDF
  • HTML
  • CSV
  • XLS
  • XLSX

[Export] (Export icon)

Page selection

Event reports can include several jobs across multiple pages. The numbers and arrows at the bottom of the Events page let you navigate the additional pages of the report.

The Events page displays all events in a table. The following table lists the information shown for each item.
