Introduction to the Activity Monitor

Use the Activity Monitor in the NetBackup Administration Console to monitor and control NetBackup jobs, daemons, and processes.

While the Activity Monitor is active in the NetBackup-Java Administration Console, the bpjobd daemon continuously communicates and pushes NetBackup job activity to the Activity Monitor.

When receiving job activity data from the bpjobd daemon, updates to the Activity Monitor occur as jobs are initiated, updated and completed. The updates occur instantaneously because there is no associated refresh cycle.
