Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Checking dashboard status widgets

The Home > Dashboard widgets (Health Status, Active Alerts, Capacity Thresholds, Capacity Used, Replication Status, Lag Thresholds, High Availability Readiness, and Cloud Health) provide an overview of key performance indicators for your monitored Data Domain or PowerProtect systems.

By default, one tab is provided named All Systems that is populated with one of each type of widget.

The graphs, dials, and color-coded alerts make it easy to spot system operational problems. Many components on the widgets provide a link to a full-featured page for the function so you can drill-down to see complete information.

If any of its monitored systems are not reachable (because they are Offline, Not Responding, Unsupported OS version, Not Transmitting, or Unmanaged), a Status button appears at the upper right corner of a widget (except for Active Alerts). Selecting this button shows the count of systems with connection issues. Selecting the Show Health Status link opens the Health > Status page, where a list of these systems is displayed.

Widget templates for commonly used monitoring functions can be used to create widgets for all managed systems or filtered by a set of criteria such as groups, properties, systems, or rules.

After they have been created, you can drag widgets around the dashboard to improve their organization. A widget or a tab with several widgets can be copied and modified to create additional widgets.

The size of the dashboard can switch between full screen and normal view.
