Infrastructure Visualization Operations

Built-in operations like filtering, zoom controls and mini-map navigation make it easy to view the backup status of your environment.

• Filtering--You can filter by node name or tier, including patterns, such as PAY to find all machines whose names contain PAY. You can save filters on a per-user basis.
• Print--You can print out a copy of the full view, not including the mini-map, zoom slider or toolbar buttons. You can also zoom into a specific area and print it.
• Zoom Controls--Using a slide bar, you can enlarge and decrease the display magnification, changing the Infrastructure Visualization scale.
• Mini-Map Navigation--The mini-map shows a small high-level overview of the entire (current) view. For very large environments, you can zoom out the view and move the bounding box in the Mini-map view by dragging your mouse. The main display updates the view to show the portion included within the bounding box.

Some controls on the toolbar are common to all Infrastructure Visualization views, such as Refresh and Print. Other views have specific toolbars.

• Nodes View -- The toolbar contains Group nodes by: Subnet/Agent, Node name filter and Node tier filter controls.
• Virtual Machine View -- The toolbar contains Virtual Machine Type: VMware/Hyper-V, Node name filter and Node tier filter controls.
• Device View -- There are no controls specific to this view.

Infrastructure Visualization Color Scheme

You can determine last backup status of all nodes in a group by matching the color bar to the following color scheme key:

• Red -- indicates failed jobs
• Orange -- indicates cancelled jobs
• Yellow - indicates incomplete jobs
• Blue -- indicates jobs that have not yet been attempted
• Green -- indicates successful jobs

When the color bar is all one color, the last backup status for all nodes in the group have the same status. When status differs, the bar is shaded proportionately.
