Disaster Recovery Failover Activity Report

Overview

The Disaster Recovery Failover Activity report provides details of the failback jobs triggered for the failed over EC2 instances in the organization. The report includes the following details of each failback job: the identifier of the failback job, the identifier of the instance for which failback is triggered, the name of the source vCenter/ESXi, the date and the timestamp of the start and the completion of each failback operation, the status of the failback operation, the IP address of the destination vCenter/ESXi, the name and the universal unique identifier (UUID) of the recovered virtual machine during failback, and the details of the failback operation.

In addition to that, the report also provides the counts of DR Plans, Successful DR Failovers, and Failed DR Failovers. There is a pictorial representation of DR Jobs status and a tabular view for all details of the DR Failover activities.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Druva Cloud Platform Console. 
  2. Go to Global Navigation Panel > Reports > Hybrid Workloads. The Hybrid Workloads Reports page appears.
