This page provides an overview of prebuilt protected resource reports, which are
available in BigQuery and Looker Studio. These reports are
displayed for resources that are protected using backup plans.
You can access these reports after you execute the prebuilt script
in the same project where the logs are being routed through the log sink.
The protected resource report includes the following fields:
date: The date when the protected resource information was last updated.
resource_type: The type of resource, for example, a Compute Engine.
resource_name: The name of the protected resource.
resource_project_name: The name of the project where the resource exists.
resource_data_size_in_gib: The data size of the protected resource.
backup_vault_name: The name of the backup vault in which the
backups of the protected resource are stored.
backup_plan_name: The name of the backup plan that is associated with the
protected resource.
backup_rules.rule_name: The name of the backup rule used to backup jobs.
backup_rules.recurrence: The backup recurrence type, which can be hourly,
daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
backup_rules.recurrence_schedule: The recurrence schedule of a backup
based on the backup rule.
backup_rules.backup_window: The backup window where you have defined the
timeframe of when backup jobs can start. The backup window uses the 24-hour
clock format, with start and end times between 00 and 24 hours, a minimum of
six hours for the window.
backup_rules.backup_window_time_zone: The timezone in which the backups
are scheduled.
backup_rules.retention_days: The duration in days for which the backups
should be retained in the backup vault before they are deleted.
last_backup_plan_assoc_date: The timestamp that shows when the backup plan
was last associated, which is in the YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ format.
backup_vault_project_name: The name of the backup vault project
where the backups are stored.
backup_vault_location: The location of the backup vault.
resource_location: The location of the protected resource.
