Read the first 7 Monitoring & Alert Configuration flashcards as text
An Acronis partner wants to configure different alert notification recipients for different customer accounts. Which configuration layer supports this?
Answer: Per-tenant notification rules in the service provider console
In Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, notification rules can be configured at the tenant level, allowing separate recipients per customer account.
Which Acronis monitoring metric would alert an administrator that a machine's RAM usage has been critically high, potentially affecting backup performance?
Answer: Memory usage threshold alert
Memory usage threshold alerts monitor RAM consumption and trigger when it exceeds the configured percentage, which can degrade backup performance.
In Acronis Cyber Protect, what does the 'Activity' tab in the console primarily display?
Answer: A chronological log of backup, recovery, and protection tasks with their statuses
The Activity tab shows a time-ordered list of all completed and in-progress tasks including backups, recoveries, and scans with their outcomes.
A managed machine shows a 'Warning' status in the Acronis console. Which scenario would most commonly produce this status rather than a 'Critical' status?
Answer: Backup completed with non-critical warnings such as skipped locked files
Warning status is typically assigned when a backup completes but with minor issues like skipped files, while Critical denotes failures or threats.
When Acronis Cyber Protect detects that a backup storage location is running low on space, which automatic action can be configured to address this before an alert becomes critical?
Answer: Apply retention rules to delete older recovery points and free up space
Retention rules can be configured to automatically prune older recovery points when storage thresholds are approached, preventing space exhaustion.
Which Acronis Cyber Protect feature enables integration with third-party monitoring tools like Zabbix or Nagios via an API or script output?
Answer: RESTful API and script-based alert forwarding
Acronis provides a RESTful API that allows external monitoring platforms to query status and receive alert data for integration with tools like Zabbix or Nagios.
An Acronis administrator configures an alert for 'Backup size anomaly.' What condition does this alert detect?
Answer: A significant unexpected change in backup size compared to historical baselines
Backup size anomaly alerts detect when a backup's size deviates significantly from its historical pattern, which can indicate data corruption or ransomware activity.
