Dashboard

Table of Contents

Welcome to the Dashboard page of your Elastio tenant! Here, you’ll find important information about the state of your backups, their recoverability, and threat detection status. With just a glance, you can get a quick overview of how your backups are performing and identify potential issues. Elastio provides you an option to set up several Dashboard views based on asset tags to get even more granularity into your environment.

Dashboard page

Our Dashboard page offers powerful tools that allow you to drill down and get more detailed insights into the metrics that matter most to you. You can easily access important metrics such as data loss, recovery and compliance exposure by simply clicking on the metric. The Dashboard described below is the default that includes all inventory assets, regardless of their type. If you need more granular views, refer to the Dashboard management section of this guide.

By using the Dashboard page of your Elastio tenant, you can make informed decisions about your data protection strategy. Whether you’re looking to optimize your backups, improve your recovery times, or enhance your threat detection capabilities, our Dashboard page is the perfect place to start.

First widget on the left is focused on threats.

Threats widget consists of 2 parts: Threats and Threat Exposure. Threats section contains 3 kinds of possible threats: Active ransomware, Active malware and File System corruption. Threat Exposure reflects the % of assets that have cyber threats, the number of accounts and regions affected.

Configuration Vulnerabilities widget gives you visibility into some potential issues that have been discovered within the accounts connected to Elastio. The vulnerabilities are broken down into High, Medium and Low risk. Right next to the breakdown you can see a list of identified vulnerabilities. Clicking on the vulnerability type will redirect you to the page containing a list of all assets

The last widget on the left focuses on File Scans and Recovery Tests. You can see the number of files scanned in the last 30 days, the number of infected and clean files. The Recovery Tests section shows the number of file system checks performed alongside the number of corrupted and healthy file systems identified.

Figure 6: RPO, Retention, Backup Coverage

Figure 6: RPO, Retention, Backup Coverage

Moving to the right of the dashboard, you can see 3 more widgets: Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Retention and Backup Coverage.

Recovery Point Objective is the amount of assets that were backed up within the pre-defined backup window. On this widget, you can see the % of assets that are out of schedule, as well as the highest and lowest RPOs. All aforementioned values are clickable and will redirect you to a page containing a list of assets with the selected value. The scale on the right can be clicked to view the percentage of assets with different RPO values.

Retention widget displays the average retention in days, alongside bottom and top quartile average retention values. Retention values are based on the age of the oldest retained recovery point for each asset. Clicking the scale on the right gives more insight into how assets are broken down into quartiles.

Backup Coverage widget provides an insight into how well the environment is protected. It displays the number of protected EC2 instances and EBS volumes compared to the total numbers, as well as storage reduction percentage and the optimized size of the backed up data.

Dashboard management

In order to provide a more granular view of the assets health across the organization, Elastio has introduced additional customizable Dashboard views. This way you can get analytics on certain parts of your infrastructure, such as specific accounts, regions, criticality and even organization departments.

To add a new Dashboard view, go to the Dashboard page of your tenant, and press the “+” button next to the “All accounts” tab header.

On the page that opens, select a name for the new Dashboard view. You’ll have several options to limit the view: by AWS account and (optionally) region, or by asset tags (both include and exclude options are available). This way you can get insight into some specific asset sets, depending on your needs.

If you want to get a Dashboard view for specific assets, you can either choose the tags to match the assets by and include them into the Dashboard. Alternatively, you can exclude certain assets by tags. This can be useful to exclude non-production assets for environments, where development, staging and production are combined within one AWS account and region, for example.

Once you have selected all the settings, press the “Create new view” button. This view will appear near the default “All accounts” tab on the Dashboard page.
