Monitoring Data Protection Manager
Published : September 27, 2005
After you set up data protection, you should monitor DPM activity to verify that everything is working correctly and to troubleshoot any problems that occur. Monitoring is essential to give you an overview of what has already happened, what is currently happening, and what is scheduled to happen. By monitoring DPM, you will know that data protection activities are working as expected, and have confidence that errors and warnings will be brought to your attention when they occur.
This chapter begins by suggesting a monitoring schedule and providing a reference table to help you locate the information you need when you follow up issues or trends identified by DPM. Subsequent sections provide explanations and more detail about the methods you can use to monitor DPM and ways in which you can use the resources listed in the reference table.
