Introduction

The CA ARCserve Backup Dashboard is a user interface tool that provides you with a snapshot overview of your backup infrastructure and your storage resource management (SRM) environment. This dashboard view lets you quickly and easily monitor relevant information to help you manage the performance and operation of your backup and SRM environment. Dashboard provides snapshot displays that provide an overall status of the specified CA ARCserve Backup domain, servers, nodes, and/or jobs.

In addition, some of the reports have an enhanced capability to drill down into the report to display more detailed information. For these reports, you can click on any of the status categories to drill down from a display of summary information to a more focused and detailed report about that particular category.

You can access the CA ARCserve Backup Dashboard from the Monitor & Reports Menu on the Navigation Bar of the CA ARCserve Backup Manager Console or from the Quick Start menu.

Note: Dashboard can be accessed only by users having CA ARCserve Backup Administrator, Monitor Operator, and Report Operator assigned user profile roles. For more information about User Profiles, see the Administration Guide.

Global Dashboard is a part of CA ARCserve Backup Dashboard and expands on these Dashboard capabilities to let you quickly and easily view dashboard information for multiple CA ARCserve Backup primary servers, both in your main office and in remote offices, all from a central location. This centralized monitoring capability through Global Dashboard means better information being reported on the performance and operation of your entire CA ARCserve Backup and SRM environment.

Note: For more information about Global Dashboard, see Understanding Global Dashboard.
