Cohesity |
Cohesity is the current backup solution provided by IS. |
Cohesity Report |
Summary or Details of cohesity related operations such as: backups, backup agent health, storage consumption, snapshot copies, etc. |
Schedule |
The frequency of the report run. |
Registered Sources |
These are the actual objects in Cohesity such as: servers, VMs, Storage volumes, SQL servers, AD servers, etc. |
Job Name |
You can report on a specific job if you prefer. This would be useful for a VM job. Rather than selecting each VM in the "sources" area you could just pick the job that protects them all to report on. |
Time Span |
This is the amount of data. If you are sending the report each day, you would probably want a 24 hour time span. If you have a job that runs less frequently then maybe the last 30 days or week is appropriate. |
Run Status |
This is the amount of data. If you are sending the report each day, you would probably want a 24 hour time span. If you have a job that runs less frequently then maybe the last 30 days or week is appropriate. |
