Monitoring Server Availability

The BEX KM monitors the Backup Exec server to ensure availability by checking connectivity to the server. This information is displayed by the BEXServerStatus parameter, located in the main Backup Exec object window. In the event that the Backup Exec server cannot be contacted, the parameter will go into an alarm state.

Individual Backup Exec services are also monitored by the Backup Exec KM. The BEX_SERVICE class has an instance for all Backup Exec services and monitors the status of the service (up or down) and the CPU, memory and thread utilization.
