Alarms Overview

Veeam ONE Client generates multiple alarms to inform you about important events in your environment. This report allows administrators to quickly review the health state of the environment and to track how the number of alarms has been changing during the reporting period.

• The Summary section includes the following elements:

• The Errors and Warnings charts show top 5 objects that caused the greatest number of alarms.
• The Total Issues chart shows alarm activity during the reporting period.
• The Top 10 Issues table shows 10 most frequently triggered alarms.

• The Details section provides information on each affected object , including object type, location, object name, number of triggered alarms and alarm activity trend.

Click a number in the Alarms column in the details table to drill down to details for alarms raised for the infrastructure object.
