AhsayCBSDashboard
To get information regarding the state of your AhsayCBS system, simply click the Dashboard icon under “Monitoring” from your AhsayCBS web console.
The dashboard is a one-stop overview providing important information that the system administrator should pay attention to, for example, system errors/warnings, the system health conditions and real-time activities of the system. With this information, system administrator can quickly identify potential issues that might pose a threat to the AhsayCBS system and therefore can react accordingly to fix the issues. Below is a summary of the information that the dashboard section provides.
There are seven tabs, each of which is described below:
To Dos
The following shows the “To Dos” tab under Monitoring > Dashboard. It contains system announcement, errors and warnings such as “Missed Backups”, “Failed Backups”, “System Errors”, “Replication Errors”, “API Errors” and “Email Errors”. Administrators and operators can refer to these messages to take corresponding action.
There are two viewing options for the log entries: Logs Period and Number of Rows per Page.
-
Logs Period
You can select to display the log entries of the errors and warnings from a period of time you selected. Click the drop-down menu on the right in the “Errors and Warnings” section to select the desired period of time.
A chart illustrating the number of errors for different types of errors/warning will be displayed if the selected period of time is other than Today and Yesterday.
In the chart below, for example, the vertical axis denotes the number of errors/warnings while the horizontal axis denotes the date. The lines on the chart in different colors correspond to the different types of errors/warnings as shown in the number counter below the chart in their respective colors.
-
Number of Rows per Page
You can also select the number of rows (i.e. the number of entries) to display on each page. Click on the drop-down menu as shown in the screen shot below to select the desired setting.
Missed Backups
This page shows all details on all missed backups from all backup users using the AhsayCBS server. Missed backup refers to backup jobs that failed to run according to the set backup schedules.

Failed Backups
This page shows all details on all failed backups from all backup users using the AhsayCBS server. Failed backup refers to backup jobs that are not performed successfully. The backup failure could be caused by various reasons, such as storage capacity on the backup destination, Internet connection between the client backup agent and the AhsayCBS server/backup destination, user interruption during backup, etc.

Overview
The following shows the “Overview” tab under Monitoring > Dashboard.
This is an overview of the system resource and system settings. These are useful information for administrator or support staff to collect regarding machine information. This information includes “Virtual Machine”, “VM version”, “Vendor”, “Java version”, “Operating System”, “CPU Architecture”, “Number Of Processors”, “Committed Virtual Memory”, “Physical Memory”, and “Swap Space”.
In addition, a list of system settings such as “VM Arguments”, “Class Path”, “Library Path”, “Boot Class Path” and “System Properties” are shown for reference.
CPU
The following shows the “CPU” tab under Monitoring > Dashboard. Here you can see the current CPU utilization, the percentage that the system and application use.
There are two parts of information from this page.
CPU Usage Chart
The CPU Usage shows the daily usage of the machine’s CPU where the AhsayCBS is installed, with the vertical axis denotes the CPU utilization rate while the Y axis denotes the time.
Usage Distribution
This chart shows the CPU usage distribution in percentage on System and Application.
Memory
The following shows the “Memory” tab under Monitoring > Dashboard. This is a graphical view of the memory pool/managers usage on this machine.
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Heap Size | The heap memory is the runtime data area from which the Java VM allocates memory for all class instances and arrays. |
| Non Heap Size | Non heap memory includes a method area shared among all threads and memory required for the internal processing or optimization for the Java VM. |
| Par Eden Space | The pool from which memory is initially allocated for most objects. |
| Par Survivor Space | The pool containing objects that have survived the garbage collection of the Eden space. |
| CMS Old Gen | The pool containing objects that have existed for some time in the survivor space. |
| Code Cache | The HotSpot Java VM also includes a code cache, containing memory that is used for compilation and storage of native code. |
| Metaspace | The pool containing all the reflective data of the virtual machine itself, such as class and method objects. With Java VMs that use class data sharing, this generation is divided into read-only and read-write areas. |
| Compressed Class Space | This is part of the metaspace. |
Storage
The following shows the “Storage” tab under Monitoring > Dashboard. This is the local storage and predefined destination usage overview.
Disk Usage
Under the Disk Usage section, it shows all the drives on the machine where the AhsayCBS is installed. You can see the capacity used (“Used”) and capacity remaining (“Free”) for each drive.
You can select to view the entries in the “Disk Usage” section sorted by Drive Letter or Free Storage.
Predefined Destination Usage
Under the Predefined Destination Usage section, it shows all the predefined destinations that you have added under the System Settings > Basics > Predefined Destination.
You can select to view the predefined destination entries sorted by Destination Name or Free Storage.
