Netbackup 7.7.3 - Active Monitor question

Hi all,

a client asks me to extend the "Active Monitor" retention jobs, now is set to 8 days and he would like extend to 30 days.

I want ask you if 30 days is too much, I worried for java perfomance, or if you think that 30 days is admissible.

 

thank you everybody,

regards

    IMHO, 30 days is too much. It will impact performance.

    Rather use NBU built-in reports or install OpsCentre. 
    The free version of OpsCentre can retain information for up to 60 days.

    How many jobs per day is the qustion to ask first.

    We are doing 30.000 jobs per day and do not store more than 3 days in the GUI. That works fine. If you do 300 jobs per day - sure 30 days will be fine. 

    Best Regards

        You could increase the number of days to retain slowly. if performance issues appear - decrease days to retain.

        But do remember the activity log is not intended so see what backup are available. Command like bpimagelist does that job much better.
