Monitor multiple onQ Appliances

Use onQ Monitor to monitor all of your onQ Appliances from a “single pane of glass”. These onQ Appliances can be located in a local datacenter or in the cloud. Think of your onQ Monitor as a dashboard from which you can retrieve information about your onQ Appliances, Protected Notes, and Recovery Nodes.

onQ Monitor enables you to click one tab or one button to:

•	retrieve status information and overhall health for all your onQ Appliances.

•	display alerts about all your onQ Appliances.

•	display current operations being performed on PNs and jobs.

•	display repository use, RN disk in use, RN disk allocated for each onQ as well as RN disk usage/allocation for each PN, providing a quick overview of capacity utilization for each onQ Appliance.

•	navigate to your onQ Appliance to retrieve more status information or to browse the log files directly.

For example, from one location you can view all the onQ Appliances that have protection turned off:
