That would be more difficult, but Data Center Operations (or NOC) is
available to us to watch for alerts, so I can key off messages like:
=20
Jan 26 07:35:01 hugo tlhd[25949]: TLH(0) drive ca8830 (device 22) is
being DOWNED, status: Unable to open drive
=20
I also use OVO to look for any backup status code in the logs other than
a 0, 1, or 150, and if there are more than 10 failures in 30 minutes, to
notify me.  That tells me I may be having massive fail out (i.e. no
scratch tapes left).
=20
Just some thoughts - the logs have a lot of useful information.

We have open view now. But there is no way of tying in open view to
netbackup to up drives or restart jobs is there? How can netbackup send
data to open view for things such as what backups failed, drives or
robots that are down etc. without having to have some script running on
the master and sending trap to open view, right? Am I missing something?

        I primarily use HP OpenView for Operations (OVO).  It would be
nice to also get ECS (Event Correlation Services) with it, but that's an
extra cost.

        We also use autosys to schedule the running of some scripts that
will send information to syslog, which OVO will then detect, assess, and
possibly notify.

        Does anyone use external monitoring tools for netbackup?  We
have many custom scripts created to perform some monitoring tasks but I
have been tasked with looking for something that can automate allot of
the monitoring without having to write a customer script for everything.
Management also wants our NOC people to take over some of the monitoring
for us to allow us to get to the real work instead of worry about upping
drives or restarting failed jobs. Any ideas?
