Reviewing Dashboard

Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV comes with a dashboard that provides at-a-glance real-time overview of the protected Nutanix AHV resources and allows you to estimate the overall backup performance. The dashboard includes the following widgets:

  • Sessions in Last 24 Hours — displays the number of sessions started for system operations as well as for data protection or disaster recovery tasks during the past 24 hours that completed successfully, the number of sessions that completed with warnings, the number of sessions that completed with errors, and the number of sessions that are currently running.

To get more information on the sessions, click either View Session Logs or any of the widget rows. In the latter case, the Session Logs page will show only those sessions that have the same status as that clicked in the widget.

For more information on the Session Logs page, see Viewing Session Statistics.

  • Successful Task Ratio — displays the number of job runs during a specific time period (the past 24 hours by default).

To specify the time period, click the link next to the Schedule icon. To get more information on the created snapshots, backups or archived backups, click any of the widget rows. In the latter case, the Session Logs page will show only those sessions during which Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV created the same items as that clicked in the widget.

For more information on the Session Logs page, see Viewing Session Statistics.

  • Protected VMs — displays the number of unprotected VM and VMs that are protected with snapshots and backups created by Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV. To get the list of VMs, click a widget row.
  • Backup Repositories — displays repositories to which the Nutanix AHV backup appliance has access. The widget also shows the amount of storage space that is currently free in each repository. If less than 15% of storage space is free, a repository is low on space. If less than 5% of storage space is free, a repository is out of space.
  • Top Jobs — shows top successfully completed jobs for execution time (including retries). For each job, the widget also calculates the growth rate to detect whether it took less or more time for the job to complete in comparison with the previous job run.
  • CPU and RAM Utilization — is designed to help you avoid possible backup bottlenecks and allocate sufficient resources to the backup appliance.

The CPU widget analyzes the amount of backup appliance CPU resources used for processing jobs during the past 24 hours. The RAM widget shows memory consumption on the backup appliance during the past 24 hours.

To monitor the availability of compute resources on the backup appliance, you can instruct Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV to send you notifications if free memory or available CPU drops below a configured threshold. For more information, see Configuring Notifications.
