Action details

In ADBM, an action means any API call, SQL request, or internal procedure that starts when backup configurations or operations related to backups and DR are being applied.

Each action can trigger several other related actions — subactions.

List of actions

To view a list of actions, follow the steps:

Open the Backup Manager page via the ADB Control web interface. The Actions section of the next page contains a table with general information on actions for all available ADB clusters.

The Actions section
If you want to display actions for a specified cluster, click the cluster name in the table that is located in the Clusters section of the opened page.

Select the ADB cluster

The Actions tab of the opened page contains a table with general information on actions for the selected cluster.

The Actions tab

Both tables mentioned above contain the following information on actions.

Action list fields
Field	Description
Action	An action full name
Cluster	A name of the cluster on which the selected action was executed. Displayed only if no specific cluster is selected on the *Backup Manager* page
Status	An action status. Possible values: `Started` `Stopped` `Done` `Failed` `Terminating` `Awaiting` `Unknown`
Username	The user who performed the selected action
Start time	An action start timestamp in the `DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss` format
End time	An action end timestamp in the `DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss` format

Search actions

Both the Actions section and the Actions tab contain filters that you can use to select actions with specific data. The available filters are listed below:

Search username… — filter by the user name (see Username above). Enter a full value.
Cluster — filter by the cluster name (see Cluster above). Displayed only if no specific cluster is selected on the Backup Manager page. Select a value from the drop-down list.
Action — filter by the action name (see Action above). Select a value from the drop-down list.
Status — filter by the action status (see Status above). Select a value from the drop-down list.

Filters for actions

For example, to show only the failed actions, you can click the Status filter and select the Failed item in the drop-down list.

Set the Status filter

As a result of applying a filter, the table contains actions with the Failed status.
