Monitor Backup Performance with a Single Pane of Glass View!
DeviceLink Site Dashboards are now available!
At Copia, we know how much observability can make a difference to efficient and resilient operations. That’s why we’re releasing site dashboards: a new tool that helps you monitor DeviceLink performance at your sites in real time. By using DeviceLink's dashboards, you can also identify patterns of issues on devices and ensure your Copia configuration is complete.
Here is a tour of a few of the capabilities included in the site dashboard:
1. Dedicated dashboard URL
Each site has its own site dashboard, and each dashboard has its own dedicated URL. The DeviceLink site dashboard is designed to be bookmarked as a “first stop” for reviewing a site’s configuration and performance. It can also be used as a view for an always-on monitor at a site.
2. Project Health table
The Project Health table summarizes the configuration status of all projects at your site, indicating whether there are any Projects that require additional setup or configuration to run backups properly. It also gives a summarized overview of job status by project, allowing you to quickly identify patterns of failure. For a detailed description of the configuration issues monitored by the Project Health table, please see our documentation.
3. Job Run Status graph
The Job Run Status graph is a large version of the DeviceLink graphs available on the Sites page. A larger form factor allows for more careful review and easier filtering interactions. To see all job runs with a selected status, hover over one of the sections of the bar graph. You can also use the filter menu on the top right of the graph to filter the graph for certain job run statuses. Clicking on a section of the graph will open the Job History page filtered for the selected date range and job status. The graph can be adjusted for multiple time horizons (last 24 hours, last 7 days, and last 30 days). In our user research, we found that many engineers preferred reviewing a consistent timeframe regularly, so the dashboard will remember your selection the next time you load the page.
4. Agents table
The Agents table summarizes the status and utilization percentage of all agents (single-site and multi-site) available at your site. An agent’s utilization is defined as the percentage of time it was busy running jobs in a given time period. As with the Job Run Status graph above, the Agents table will remember your previous time period selection.
A more thorough overview of the features in the site dashboard can be found in our documentation. We look forward to your feedback on this new observability feature and will be shipping more features like it soon!
