Gbackup Alarms and Events Configuration

Gbackup generates events to alert the user about potential problems that may require attention. The events in turn raise or update the necessary alarms using which the problem is analyzed and resolved. The events configuration UI is meant to configure parameters on how Gbackup should handle its events and the resultant alarms. The following describes the configuration options:

Events & Alarms Configuration - Events that are generated locally by the Gbackup installation. Each event generated raises or updates an alarm which can be used to analyze and resolve the issue which causes the event. Here you can configure the following:

1. Clean Up Frequency - This field is used to specify how often should Gbackup check and cleanup the cleared alarms. Gbackup automatically cleans up the cleared alarms, the associated events as well as the Information events which never raise an alarm. It is not advisable to check and cleanup alarms & events frequently as this might cause performance issues. Hence, the maximum frequency you can specify is a "Day".

    

2. Generate Windows Event - You can use this option to have Gbackup also generate a Windows event when it is generates a Gbackup event. You can select the type of Gbackup events for which the Windows events should be generated. You can select one or more of the following event types:
   1. Critical and Major
   2. Warning
   3. Information
