How to monitor Cloud Backup Recovery in Huawei Cloud
Site24x7 monitors Huawei Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) metrics, giving your team real-time visibility into vault storage utilization and consumed backup capacity.
Use cases
Prevent exhaustion: Vault Utilization tracks total vault capacity usage, ensuring efficient resource management and preventing overuse.
Track growth: Used Vault Size reveals the absolute volume of backup data stored, helping you correlate growth trends with retention policy changes or the number of protected resources.
Plan capacity: Comparing Vault Utilization and Used Vault Size gives both relative saturation and absolute consumption in one view.
Setup and configuration
CBR resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Huawei Cloud integration. To enable monitoring, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei > Add Huawei Monitor. Follow the steps to add a Huawei Cloud monitor.
- While adding or editing a Huawei Cloud monitor, select CBR from the Service/Resource Types drop-down and click Save.
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei, select the created Huawei monitor, and then click Cloud Backup Recovery.

Common monitored data
Outages
The Outages tab displays outage details, including start time, end time, duration, and related comments, to help track and review downtime events.
Notes
The Notes tab enables you to record descriptions, operational context, runbook steps, recent changes, and reference links to keep your team informed. Format the content using markdown syntax.
Log Report
The Log Report tab provides a unified view of the respective monitor's log status and supports CSV downloads for analysis and auditing.
Alert Logs
The Alert Logs tab provides a comprehensive list of all alerts generated by the monitor. Easily track key details such as the monitored resource name, alert trigger time, root cause, and notification status. Learn more.
Threshold configuration
You can configure thresholds and alerts for all CBR metrics to detect performance degradation proactively or connection issues.
- Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
- Create or edit your Threshold Profile for CBR.
- Assign the profile to the respective monitors to trigger alerts.
IT Automation
Use Site24x7's IT Automation to resolve common issues with CBR performance:
- Go to Admin > IT Automation Templates. Then, click Add Automation Templates.
- Create an automation rule by selecting the automation Type (e.g., Server reboot, clear queue).
- Map the created rules to the CBR, for automatic execution during alerts.
Configuration rules
Use Configuration Rules to simplify bulk setup across CBR instances. Automatically assign Threshold Profiles, Notification Profiles, Tags, and Monitor Groups when new monitors are discovered.
