Monitoring and Reporting in Data Protector is poorly implemented and does not fulfill the expectations from users of Data Protector for a modern design and rich functions. Because of that many users develop tools on their own to customize the included reports. Other admins use tools like HP Data Protector Reporter (special version of HP Storage Essentials) or integrate DP in exisiting management tools like HP OVO or Nagios or simple stay with included implementation.
But what if a solution would be available? What if such a solution would fulfill the requirements and expectations of Data Protector Admins and includes dashboards for the management level? Would the community like this software and what are you willing to invest to get the software (what should this solution cost)? I’d like to get some answers for these questions from you, the community.
So, I kindly ask all the reader of my blog to enter the survey and to answer the questions in the survey. If you like, please add comments and enhancement requests for a modern Monitoring and Reporting. Below you will find some screenshots from a new upcoming solution.
