Viewing the health status of all clients

View the health of your data-protection system. The Health Monitor panel displays a summary of all clients, and provides links for more information and actions.

Before you begin

This task assumes that the central administration console discovered some clients.

Procedure

  1. Open the Health Monitor task. The Health Monitor panel displays the following sections:
    • Clients Summary
    • Audit Logs
    • Alerts
    The Clients Summary section displays a summary of the health of clients. The status of each client can be one of the following: Fatal, Critical, Warning, Normal.
  2. Click a health status to see details of clients with that health status. The Health view of the Clients task displays all clients with that health status.
  3. Optional: Filter the client entries that are displayed.
    1. In the text filter field, type a text string.
    2. Click the arrow to the left of the filter text field.
    3. From the list of names in the Filter On box, select one or more column names.
    4. Click OK. The table displays only the clients that match the text string that you entered. If you selected more than one column name, the filter yields only clients that have matching text in all selected columns. The filter is case-sensitive.

      For example, if you typed none and selected the Group column name, only the clients associated with no group (Group = none) are displayed.

      More strings are matched when you use wildcards in the filter text. An asterisk replaces several characters. A question mark replaces one character. If you use an asterisk or wildcard in the filter text, the blank space beyond the end of your filter text matches any text.

  4. Optional: Order the entries by sorting on the values in any column.
    1. Click a column heading. The entries are ordered in ascending sequence according to the text in the cells of that column.
    2. Click the same column heading again. The entries are ordered in descending sequence according to the text in the cells of that column.
    3. Click another column heading. The entries are ordered in ascending sequence according to the text in the cells of that column.

What to do next

You can further investigate a client by viewing the activity log of a client or viewing the current configuration of a client.

If you determine that some action is needed, you can deploy software updates, change the configuration of a client, or send a script to a client.
