Monitoring the DR Series System

This topic introduces the ways in which you monitor the current state of DR Series system operations using the
Dashboard page options in the navigation panel. The Dashboard page displays a summary of current system status
categories (System State, HW State, Number of Alerts, and Number of Events. In addition, this page displays Capacity,
Storage Savings, and Throughput), and includes the System Information pane. There are links to other system pages (the
Health, Alerts, and Events pages) that you can use to display the current state of the system health (by the status of its
components), display the current system alerts, and current system events for your DR Series system.
