Alert / Reporting

Reporting

Once every 24 hours, at a time you decide, TSMManager will collect information about all abnormal events in your TSM server, format them and send them as an e-mail to one or more receivers. In addition to that, the report will be stored on the builtin webserver for easy access from a webbrowser.

The information collected includes :

Database backup not performed
Database nearing full
Maximum log usage above limit
Client schedules not completed
Clients without contact to the server
Client backup activities
Filespaces not backed up
Volumes in unavailable state
Full volumes with low utilization
Volumes exceeding a number of read or write errors
Failed processes
Drives not online
Tape storage pools with very high utilization
Libraries with few scratch tapes left
Severe, warning, error messages for the last 24 hours

All limits are user adjustable and you can select which items you want included in the report.

Alerts

The collector part of TSMManager maintains a realtime watch on all messages issued by your TSM server. If an error message is encountered, it will immediately send an e-mail to one or more receivers.

You decide what severity should trigger an alert and you also have a filtering capability to filter out "harmless" error messages.

You can setup certain users to receive an alert e-mail, if a node they are responsible for fails its scheduled backup.

Send a daily e-mail notification informing you of exception conditions in your TSM server.
Show a visual indication of the servers availability, updated every 2 minutes.
Send you an e-mail immediately if error messages occur.
Send e-mail alerts to specific users if the node(s) they are responsible for fails their backups.
