Business View Categorization
To simplify the management of the connected infrastructure, Veeam ONE Client allows organizing virtual and
backup infrastructure objects into categories and groups.

Category is a logical division of the infrastructure. Group is a collection of infrastructure objects that share same
characteristics or match same criteria. You can think of a group as a tag assigned to an object. Each category
includes one or more groups.

By default, Veeam ONE Client categorizes objects into predefined groups. To categorize objects into different
groups, you can use the following methods:

• Sing le-Parameter Categorization — this method allows you to create groups automatically based on the
values of a single property.

• Multiple-Condition Categorization — this method allows you to create groups manually by combining
multiple properties and logical operators.

• Grouping Expressions — this method allows you to create groups based on properties, operators and
methods included into expressions.

In this section, you will review the following examples:

• Creating Category and Groups Based on VCPU Count

• Creating Category and Groups Based on RAM and Guest OS Parameters

More Information
For more information about categorization, see section Business View of the Veeam ONE Monitoring Guide.

33 | V eeam ONE | Quick Start Guide | 12.2.0.4093

Creating Category and Groups Based on
VCPU Count
To create a category based on a single parameter, you will select a property as a categorization condition.
Veeam ONE Client automatically creates groups for each unique value of the selected property. All VMs with the
same property value will fall into one group.

For this scenario you will categorize VMs based on vCPU count. To do that:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For more information, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click Business View.

3. Launch the Ad d Category wizard. To do this:

6. At the Grouping Criteria step, select VCP U count as VM property.

7. Click Sa ve.

Veeam ONE Client will create an individual group for each unique value of the VCP U count property.

35 | V eeam ONE | Quick Start Guide | 12.2.0.4093

Creating Category and Groups Based on
RAM and Guest OS Parameters
Veeam ONE allows combining multiple conditions to create groups. This method makes categories highly
customizable, as each group within a category can have its own condition. Conditions can be based on different
object properties and logical operators. For one group, you can specify one or more conditions and link them
with the AND or OR operator.

In this scenario, you will create a category with the following groups: Windows VMs with 10 or less GB RAM and
Linux VMs with more than 10 GB RAM. To do that:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

More Information
For details on the functionality of Veeam ONE Web Client, see the Reporting Guide.

42 | V eeam ONE | Quick Start Guide | 12.2.0.4093

Generating Protected VMs Report
Veeam ONE Web Client includes a set of predefined reports that analyze the managed environment from various
aspects.

For this scenario, you will run and review the P rotected VMs predefined report. A VM is protected if there is at
least one valid backup or replica restore point that meets the designated RPO for it. The report helps you
identify which VMs in your environment function without proper protection and make sure the existing backups
and replicas meet established RPO requirements.

To generate a P rotected VMs report:

1. Open Veeam ONE Web Client.

For more information, see Accessing Veeam ONE Web Client.

2. Open the Rep orts tab.

3. In the hierarchy on the left, select the Veeam Backup Monitoring folder.

4. In the displayed list of reports, select the P rotected VMs report.

5. You can specify the following report parameters:

o Scop e (Infrastructure objects): defines a virtual infrastructure level and its sub-components.

o Scop e (VM folders): defines a list of VMware folders to include in the report (applies to VMware
vSphere environments only). VM folders view is an alternate way to present the virtual infrastructure.
If VMs in your infrastructure are grouped into folders according to their profile, you can limit the
report scope by specifying the necessary folders only.

o Scop e (vCloud Director objects): defines vCloud Director components to analyze in the report.

o Scop e (Business View objects): defines Business View groups to analyze in the report. You can select
only objects of the Virtual Machine type.

o RP O (Recovery Point Objective): defines the age of the latest backup or replica files required to
resume normal operation if a system failure occurs. For example, to compile a list of VMs protected on
a daily basis, you need to set the RPO value to 1 day.

o VM ex clusion rule: defines VMs to exclude from the report scope. You can enter VM names ex plicitly
or create a wildcard mask by using the asterisk (*) to replace any number of characters. Multiple
entries are separated by a semicolon. Usage example: the following string will exclude machines with
the _R&D suffix from appearing in the report: “*_R&D”.

o Job types: defines job types that must be evaluated ( Backup , Replication, Backup Copy , vCD Backup ,
vCD Replication, All Items).

o E x clude jobs: defines a list of jobs to exclude from the report scope.

o Include VM templates in this report: defines whether VM templates must be included in the report.

6. Click P review.

The report will open in a pop-up browser window.

The navigation menu at the top of a report allows you to navigate the report.

The report includes the following elements:

• Description: report description

43 | V eeam ONE | Quick Start Guide | 12.2.0.4093

Veeam ONE Web Client dashboards provide an overall view of the managed infrastructure. Every dashboard
includes a set of widgets. Widgets are visual modules that portray various aspects of the managed environment
in the form of charts, graphs or tables. By aggregating several widgets on a single screen, dashboards allow you
to focus on critical areas of the managed environment, track dependencies and interrelated aspects.

Veeam ONE Web Client dashboards are available in the Da shboards section. For this scenario, you will review
the Veea m Backup and Replication dashboard which provides information on the state of the key backup
infrastructure components.

To open the Veeam Backup and Replication dashboard:

1. Open Veeam ONE Web Client.

For more information, see Accessing Veeam ONE Web Client.

2. Open the Da shboards tab.

3. Click the Veea m Backup and Replication dashboard preview image.

The Veeam Backup and Replication dashboard includes the following widgets:

• Ba ckup Infrastructure Inventory. This widget shows the types of objects in your backup infrastructure, the
number and health states of objects of each type.

• Best P ractices Findings. This widget displays best practices findings including all best practice scores by
solution server.

• Ba ckup W indow. This widget shows the total duration of daily backup and replication job sessions.

• Job s Status. This widget displays information on successfully completed jobs and the number of jobs that
completed with warnings and errors.

• P rotected VMs Overview. This widget displays counters for VMs protected with backup and replication
jobs.

• Top Jobs by Duration. This widget displays 10 jobs with the longest duration, job completion status and
the average weekly duration.

Arrows on the right show how job duration has changed over the previous week. A gray arrow pointing
right next to the Dura tion value means that duration of the job has not changed over the past week, a
green arrow pointing down means that job duration has decreased, while a red arrow pointing up means
that job duration has increased.

• Top Repositories by Used Space . This widget displays 10 repositories that will run out of free space sooner
than other repositories, as well as total capacity and free space left on these repositories. The widget also
forecasts how many days remain before the repositories will run out of free space.

Arrows on the right show how the repository free space value has changed over the previous week. They
have similar meanings to those in the Top Jobs by Duration widget.
