Reports for Schedule Policies

Hi @Heath , thanks for the post!

I’m not seeing a report that does exactly what you want, and a custom report would definitely work.

However, we do have some reports that might get to the heart a bit quicker without being in the exact manner you desire:

Failed Jobs in the last 24 hours.  This will show you if any jobs failed, which should in theory be a shorter list to scan (just not split by schedule policy)

Job summary Report.  you can schedule these filtered out by client, though I don’t see a schedule policy filter:

Job Summary Report (Command Center).  Same as above, though some additional features/interaction options.

We do have a lot of members here who excel at creating all sorts of custom reports and commands, so you might get some more useful tips!

@Heath if you could be more specific in what you are looking for than we might be able to relate your whishes to one or two reports than you can use to quickly assess if everything is running fine.

not sure what you look at the amount of files being protected because and why you look at it from the angle of the schedule policies and not just from the angle of the clients. i assume your primary copy goes to disk and that you check the secondary copy to tape to see if it ran. you can put an alert on this as well so it notifies you once it hits an issue which results in a backlog. 

personally I would only focus on things that go wrong, and there are possibilities that allow monitoring and reporting to be configured just like that which results in alerts / reports being send only when issues were found.  

I had a long section written but I think it cleared it all.  I understand that this may be a big report and also that I may have to go make reports for each subclient.  I am trying to learn this stuff but looking at the custom reports can get daunting.  Thank you all for the help.

Again thank you all for the help.  When our company went to commvault only the main network admin got any training, I had to learn it all myself and gather what I could from what little was shown to me, so all this help is amazing.  I was looking at the Job Summary Report and I can probably make it work.  THe one thing I can’t find is a way to add if it was put on tape/media or not.  I am wondering if I have to pull the summary report as a template into the Report Creator and just add that column.  I do have some alerts set already, and one of the reasons I do the checking the way I do is because of Audits that are looking for specific info.  Hopefully I can get them switched over to reports showing it worked and for the few things that I need to see specific subclients I run super special reports for them.
