Monitoring activity on your Avamar node

Monitoring activity on your Avamar node is done via the "mccli" command. There are a few switches that can be used and here we use "activity show". This command will show all active jobs that are currently running on the system. They will be listed with their current status and progress. 

AVAMARNODE:~/#: mccli activity show --active=true

In some scenarios you will be checking on the backup status of a particular server to see if backups have been performed successfully. You can do this with the following "mccli" command using the --name flag to show one particular clients backup and replication status for the last few days. Note that the domain is case sensitive as is the client name, if yours are uppercase it must be upper case in the command.

AVAMARNODE:~/#: mccli activity show --name=/DOMAIN/client.somedomain.com

0,23000,CLI command completed successfully.
