How to monitor Cloud Backup Recovery in Huawei Cloud
Site24x7 monitors Huawei Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) metrics, giving your team real-time visibility into vault storage utilization and consumed backup capacity.
Use cases
Prevent exhaustion: Vault Utilization tracks total vault capacity usage, ensuring efficient resource management and preventing overuse.
Track growth: Used Vault Size reveals the absolute volume of backup data stored, helping you correlate growth trends with retention policy changes or the number of protected resources.
Plan capacity: Comparing Vault Utilization and Used Vault Size gives both relative saturation and absolute consumption in one view.
Setup and configuration
CBR resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Huawei Cloud integration. To enable monitoring, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei > Add Huawei Monitor. Follow the steps to add a Huawei Cloud monitor.
- While adding or editing a Huawei Cloud monitor, select CBR from the Service/Resource Types drop-down and click Save.
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei, select the created Huawei monitor, and then click Cloud Backup Recovery.
Supported metrics
Backup
Metric name | Description | Units |
| Vault Utilization | The percentage of total vault capacity currently consumed by backups. | Percentage |
| Used Vault Size | The total storage capacity consumed within the backup vault. | GB |
Threshold configuration
You can configure thresholds and alerts for all CBR metrics to detect performance degradation proactively or connection issues.
- Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
- Create or edit your Threshold Profile for CBR.
- Assign the profile to the respective monitors to trigger alerts.
IT Automation
Use Site24x7's IT Automation to resolve common issues with CBR performance:
- Go to Admin > IT Automation Templates. Then, click Add Automation Templates.
- Create an automation rule by selecting the automation Type (e.g., Server reboot, clear queue).
- Map the created rules to the CBR, for automatic execution during alerts.
Configuration rules
Use Configuration Rules to simplify bulk setup across CBR instances. Automatically assign Threshold Profiles, Notification Profiles, Tags, and Monitor Groups when new monitors are discovered.
