Widgets Included

Data Platform Scorecard

This widget summarizes and displays data platform scores for Platform Security Compliance, Data Recovery Health, Data Protection Status and Backup Immutability Status. This display provides all the required data protection visibility at a glance, allowing you to quickly and easily identify the information you need to action solutions to threats to your backup infrastructure.

You can configure the information displayed in the scorecard in the settings panel. You can edit the scorecard widget to display information on infrastructure objects as well as Data Recovery Health, Data Protection Status, Backup Immutability Status and Platform Security Compliance mini-widgets.

You can also configure and generate reports directly from the Platform Security Compliance, Data Protection Status and Backup Immutability Status and Data Recovery Health mini-widgets. Click the relevant report icon to the right of each section. For details on predefined Veeam ONE reports, see Predefined Veeam ONE Reports.

To configure the Data Platform Scorecard widget:

1. Open Veeam ONE Web Client.

2. Navigate to the Veeam Threat Center section.

3. At the top right corner of the Data Platform Scorecard widget, click the settings icon.
