I have about 10 SQL server running SMSQL and a couple Exchange Clusters running SME. We ran into a bit of an issue where some servers were not running the automated or scheduled tasks, and it went unnoticed for a day or two. The completion or failure job is set via SM email even if successful, so I get a few emails a day to say the least. What I am looking for is what folks use out there to monitor their SMGR jobs/backups. • Do you just rely on email, and if a job does not come in at its specific time, become alarmed? • Do you run a sys logger against the filers and look for those jobs/alerts? • Do you run some fancy script I can bribe you for, and I will buy you a beer in return? • Looks like powershell for Netapp is cool. I ran a snapshot script that was pretty cool.. Maybe ask for some help there. What do you use ?
happy holidays!
