About aggregation rules for protection status
The Applications view consists of three levels: application (Microsoft Exchange or SQL Server), the
servers running the application, and the storage groups (Exchange 2003/2007), information stores
(Exchange 2010), or database instance (SQL) allocated to each server. To simplify monitoring, a
series of status labels are applied to each level in the structure. In order of priority, the labels are:
• Critical
• Unknown
• Warning
• Normal
The data protection status and latest replica are aggregated from the bottom up based on these rules:
• If one or more instance of Critical exists on a level, the upper level is also labeled Critical
• If no instance of Critical exists, but one or more instances of Warning exist, the upper level is
labeled Warning
• If no instance of Critical or Warning exists, the upper level is labeled Normal
This ensures that the current status of each level reflects that of the one below. In the example below,
the top (application) level is tagged with an aggregate status of Critical.
