Protection reports

Protection reports allow you to verify the application protection and discovery status within an appliance and also at an enterprise level.

Protection reports include:

  • Instance Name. Name of the database instance for instance members.

  • Ignored on Appliances. List of the appliances on which the application is marked as ignored.

  • Discovered on Appliances. List of the appliances on which the application is discovered.

Report parameters

  • Select Appliances. The multi-select drop-down lists all the appliances that are added to Report Manager.

  • Select Application Types. The multi-select drop-down lists the application type for the applications that belong to the selected appliances.

  • Hide Headers & Footers. Checking this option hides all sections (except the table report which is used to export reports in CSV format for exception-only report scheduling.

Multiply protected applications
