PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

To view a summary of any issues affecting the health of PowerProtect Data Manager, select Health from the navigation pane or View All from the Dashboard health widget.

PowerProtect Data Manager automatically performs a health check every two minutes. If an issue is detected, it is assigned a category and a deduction value based on its severity. All issues are displayed on the Health window. Issues that have been resolved are automatically removed the next time a health check is performed.

Health details and status are provided for the following categories:

• Components: Identifies the state of hardware and software services, such as Running or Failed.
• Configuration: Identifies whether any aspects of the PowerProtect Data Manager configuration are incomplete, such as System Support configuration.
• Capacity: Identifies the provisioned and currently allocated size of the associated storage system.
• Performance: Identifies key performance indicators, such as memory use.
• Data Protection: Identifies key protection indicators, such as service-level agreements not being met and disaster-recovery backup copies not being present.

Each category starts with a score of 100. If a category is affected by an issue, its score is reduced by the deduction value assigned to the issue. If a category is affected by more than one issue, its score is only reduced by the most severe issue.

Click next to an entry to see the details of the issue.

In the Health window, you can export health data by using the Export All functionality.

The overall health score of the system is represented by the most severe issue and the category with the lowest score.
