Device Status report reference

This article applies to CrashPlan Enterprise and MSPs.png

Overview

The Device Status report gives you visibility to address common problems and questions about devices in your CrashPlan environment. To analyze the data in-depth, export the report as a CSV file and use the data-analysis tool of your choice.

Device Status report

Specify at least one search criterion
In very large CrashPlan environments (100,000+ devices), running this report without specifying any search criteria can cause noticeable performance delays. Specify search criteria whenever possible.

To access the Device Status report:

  1. Sign in to the CrashPlan console.
  2. From the menu, select Administration > Status > Reporting.
  3. If needed, click the Device Status tab.
