Cloud Disaster Recovery health email alerts ? Cloud DR, CDR,CDRS,CDRA

CDR 19.5.0.2(6)  IDPA Version: 19.3.0-5

Cloud DR, CDR,CDRS,CDRA

I've been trying to search how to enable email alerts for Cloud DR health. Not sure where to enable these alerts? Avamar, DataDomain, iDPA system Manager, Fitness Analyzer, Avamar, Data Protection Advisor, ACAM ?

CDRS/CDRA does not have direct email alerts. 

Open to any other method/ideas to monitor CloudDR health?

For IDPA Reporting, Monitoring and Alerting in general (and this may help with CDR also) please see here:

For CDR alerting specifically- the short answer as of now: 

CDRA system events can be exported to a syslog server for monitoring by other systems, which could then be configured to send emails. These events probably won't include all the health you want to see but it would at least notify you of serious issues. This would be a good start until a better solution can be found. I will try to follow-up on this soon if I can find a better solution.

Some details of how to get started on this are in the Dell EMC Data Domain Cloud Disaster
Recovery Guide. Below is from that Guide:

Export events to Syslog
You can configure CDRS to export events to a syslog server where they can be viewed
using external monitoring systems.
Procedure
1. In the CDRS user interface navigation tree, select System > Syslog.
2. Select Add Syslog Server and provide the following information about the
Syslog server:
l IP or hostname.
The Cloud DR Server Interface
54 Data Domain Cloud Disaster Recovery 18.1 Installation and Administration Guide
l Transfer protocol.
l Port number.
l Facility name.
3. To return to the Syslog page, click Save & Connect.
4. To verify connection to the syslog server, click Test Syslog.
5. Click Add Event Filter and specify the following information on the Defined
Events window:
l Filter name.
l One or more categories to send to syslog.
l One or more severity levels to send to syslog.
6. To return to the Syslog pag, click Add.
The Enable Syslog log transfer switch is automatically toggled to on.
Results
The events data is exported to the syslog server. You can disable these exports by
toggling off Enable Syslog log transfer.

 

If this helps please give KUDOS

 

thanks
