View anomalies
NetBackup can now detect anomalies in backup metadata. It can detect any unusual job data in the data backup flow. For example, it can detect a file count or a file size that is different than the usual count or size.
See About backup anomaly detection.
Note:
An anomalies count of 0 indicates there are no anomalies generated or that the anomaly detection services are not running.
To view anomalies
- On the left, select Detection and reporting > Anomaly detection.
The following columns are displayed:
Job ID - Job ID of the job for which the anomaly is detected
Client name - Name of the NetBackup client where the anomaly is detected
Policy type - The policy type of the associated backup job
Count - The number of anomalies that are detected for this job
Score - Severity of the anomaly. The score is higher if the severity of the anomaly is more.
Anomaly severity - Severity of the anomalies that are notified for this job
Anomaly summary - Summary of the anomalies that are notified for this job
Received - Date when the anomaly is notified
Review status - Indicates whether the detected anomaly is reported as a false positive, an actual anomaly, or it can be ignored.
Policy name - The policy name of the associated backup job
Schedule name - The schedule name of the associated backup job
Schedule type - The schedule type of the associated backup job
- Expand a row to see the details of the selected anomaly.
For each anomaly record, the current value of that feature and its actual range based on the past data are displayed.
Consider the following example:
An anomaly of the image size feature is displayed as 100MB (Usual 350MB, 450MB). This information implies that the current image size that is reported as anomaly is 100 MB. However, the usual image size range is 350 MB - 450 MB that is derived from the analysis of past data. Because of the significant difference between the current images size and usual image size range, NetBackup notifies it as an anomaly.
- You can perform the following actions on the anomaly record:
Click Mark as ignore when you can ignore the anomaly condition.
The Review status of the anomaly record appears as Ignore.
Click Confirm as anomaly when you want to take some action on the anomaly condition.
The Review status of the anomaly record appears as Anomaly.
Click Report as false positive if the anomaly is a false positive. Similar anomalies are not shown in the future.
The Review status of the anomaly record appears as False positive.
