Job Monitor

The Job Monitor view consists of two tabs: the traditional Job Monitor tab and the Unfinished Restores tab.

Job Monitor Tab

This is a sample view of the Job Monitor tab.

The Job Monitor tab default view displays all jobs matching the default timeframe filters for the current day. You can customize the view using the Advanced Filters button.

You can also control the view by ordering items by Name, Type, Status, Start Time, Duration, Completion stage and Throughput. Just click the column header to enable ascending/descending ordering.

Tip. You can choose which columns are shown by right-clicking the table header and selecting Column Settings.

Drag and drop column headers to hide or unhide them and change the column orders. Default display settings can be restored using the Restore to default button.

Note also the Items per page value and navigation buttons at the bottom of the list, which can be useful when managing the display of many jobs.

Filtering

There are three basic filters available to narrow down the displayed list.

• Name filter allows filtering with a substring within job Names

• Status filter is a drop-down list of all possible job statuses, i.e. Aborted, Cancelled, Cancelling, Completed, Failed, Held, Passed, Resuming, Running, Suspended, Suspending and Waiting.

• Type filter is a drop-down list of job Types from among those present in the Job Manager.

Multiple filters may be used, but only one of each type, i.e. you cannot use more than one Name filter at the same time. Filters can be cleared one by one using the cross symbol to the right of the respective filter label.

Advanced filters

If the basic filtering is not returning the desired results, you can use Advanced Filters.

1. Click the Advanced Filters button. The Advanced Filters dialog appears.

2. Use the available options as needed to filter the required items. Click Apply. Various filter labels will appear, depending on your Advanced Filter selection.

If the filtering results are too narrow, you can remove filtering criteria one by one using the cross symbol to the right of the filter label.

Tip. If you expect an item to be visible in the list but you cannot see it, make sure it is not excluded from viewing by filtering. For newly added items, you may also use the Refresh button to make sure the list is up to date.

Unfinished Restores Tab 🆕

This is a sample view of the Unfinished Restores tab.

The Unfinished Restores view lists three types of items: Agentless File Restore active mounts and Instant Access mappings presented in the Dashboard widget in Catalogic DPX versions 4.10 and earlier, and Multi-VM Restore job instances – a new feature for in the 4.11 release. Items of different types can be easily recognized by the icons in the first column, which correspond to the Restore Type column values.

Agentless File Restore

Items of this type, marked with the icon, provide access to the Agentless File Restore images, temporarily mounted from vStor to DPX Master Server to ensure instant access to files from a virtual machine protected by an agentless VM Restore job.

The Browse button or the Browse option in the context menu under the right-click will take you to the final step of the Agentless File Restore workflow where you can select individual files or entire folders to restore. They will be downloaded as .zip archives to the machine you are using to connect to the web interface.

Instant Access

Items of this type, marked with the icon, are Block Backup images accessible as network shares from the nodes they were mapped to. In the image above, a windows_25 VM volume is mapped to the windows_27 node as a network share under B:\.

To unmount, use thebutton or right-click the IA item and select Unmount. The IA share will be unmounted and will disappear from the Unfinished Restores tab.

Important. Never unmount an Instant Access volume directly from the machine where it is mounted. This may result in inconsistent behavior.

Multi-VM Restore

Items of this type, marked with the icon, represent Multi-VM Restore job instances that have been run. Multi-VM Restore uses instant restoring, i.e. empty machines are created in the target vCenter, and the data are mounted from the backup storage, e.g. vStor.

Use the button or right-click the Multi-VM Restore item and select RRP. The Rapid Return to Production will be initiated for all machines under this Multi-VM Restore job.
