This topic provides information about how to manage and monitor Druva inSync for Exchange Online.

As an inSync Cloud administrator, you can enable alerts to manage and monitor the status of your Microsoft 365 app. You can generate and view reports and get insights into the ongoing activities on your app.

In addition, you can perform the following tasks to manage Exchange Online backups.

Enable alerts for monitoring app status

After you have configured inSync with Microsoft 365, you can choose to receive alerts whenever the Microsoft 365 app status changes. For example, alerts when Microsoft 365 is not connected.

Procedure

To enable the alerts for Exchange Online app status, execute the following steps:

  1. On the inSync Management Console menu bar, click the bell icon. The list of all alerts appears under the Active Alerts tab.

  2. Click the Alert Subscriptions tab. A list of available alerts is displayed.

  3. Select the SaaS Apps Status alert, and then click Edit. The Edit Alert Notifications window appears.

  4. In the Admins to be notified field, select the administrators who must receive the alerts. By default, the server administrators are notified about the alerts for SaaS Apps status.

  5. If any user action is required, select the Notify user checkbox.

  6. Click Save.

To learn more about configuring and managing alerts, see Alerts.

Rollback Considerations:

You cannot rollback Exchange Online device if:

  • The user or profile is already deleted. To rollback, you need to rollback the deleted user or profile first.

  • The user's profile with which the device is associated is changed. To roll back this Exchange Online device, you need to change the user's profile to the previous one.

The active license limit of the user with which the Exchange Online device is associated has reached the threshold. Contact Support to procure additional licenses.
