Click each tab to view jobs categorized by Backups, Retention, Restores, Disaster Recovery, and Scheduling.
​
Use the Search by Resource ID or Job ID text box to quickly locate a specific job. You can also use the filter icon to identify jobs by Region, Account, Resource Type, Policy/Plan Name, Action, Status, or by Date Range (for example, Jobs triggered in the Last 30 days ).

  • The Activity Trend chartprovides a graphical view of all jobs within that category,in the last 30 days. Hover over the graph to view the total number of successful or failed jobs on a particular day.

  • You can select a particular Job ID to view information on the backup and restore jobs, for example, to assess performance stats or troubleshooting, if required. The Job details page includes detailed information about the selected job, the job progress, and associated logs.
    ​

Filters

The job filters list the jobs based on their Region, Account, Resource Type, Status, and so on. You can apply one or more filters to view individual jobs and associated logs within the chosen job category.

You can use one or more of the following filters:

  • Region: Filter jobs triggered in a particular AWS region.

  • Account: Select the CloudRanger Account on which a particular job is triggered.

  • ResourceType: Select one or more resource types, for example, DynamoDB, EC2, RDS, or Redshift. You may also filter by all resource types.


πŸ“ Note
​The Resource Type varies based on the job category selected. Disaster Recovery and Scheduling jobs do not apply to DynamoDB resources.


  • Policy: This filter applies only to Backup and Retention jobs. Select a backup policy to filter associated jobs.

  • Plan Name: This filter applies only to Disaster Recovery jobs. Select a DR Plan Name to filter associated jobs.

  • Generated: This filter applies only to Backup jobs. Select Manually or By Policy to filter backup jobs generated manually or specify a backup policy. Use this filter to generate a list of backup jobs initiated manually or based on a policy-based schedule.

You can filter the backup jobs based on whether they were executed manually or via a policy-based backup schedule. The Generated filter allows you to select backup jobs initiated Manually or By Policy. If you select By Policy, proceed by selecting a backup policy to filter associated jobs. The existing Policy Name column will display the appropriate backup policy for backup jobs generated automatically.


πŸ“ Note
​​​​​ Currently selecting Manually populates backup jobs initiated manually from February 13, 2023, and will exclude historical data (usually available up to 1 year prior). This is a known limitation.


  • Action: The options displayed in this field vary based on the job category selected. For example, you may apply the Plan Failover action to filter jobs initiated upon failover of a disaster recovery plan. The following Action filters are available based on the job category:

    • Backup Jobs:

      • Backup to AWS: Jobs initiated to backup AMIs and Snapshots to AWS

      • Backup to Druva Cloud: Backup Jobs initiated to Druva Cloud

    • Last 24 hours

    • Last 7 days

    • Last 30 days

    • Last 90 days

    • Last 12 month


πŸ“ Note
