Performance metrics of Commvault Command Center monitor
Site24x7's Commvault Command Center backup monitoring provides a centralized overview of all backup policies and job metrics configured within your Commvault environment. Each Command Center instance is linked to a single CommServe, which will be listed under the backup server that manages and orchestrates all the Backup Jobs within the backup environment. This integration enables real-time monitoring, alerting, and visibility into backup performance across on-premises and cloud workloads.
