Feature request: Job timeline view

[MikeinWI]

Our jobs tend to overlap a lot and at times are stomping on each other. In VBR, it would be handy to have a timeline view, even just the last 24 hours like the 24 hour event list.

Basic ask: showing general start-stop job overlaps on a timeline scale, backup, backup copy, replica, SOBR offload, etc.
Added points: showing when jobs are stopped and started due to other jobs (SOBR jobs stopped because of a backup copy kicking in, whatever)
Super gold star: an expandable way of seeing individual VMs that caused jobs to be stopped or caused waiting. Maybe those little +/- to expand/contract.
Three gold stars: go back longer than 24 hours, maybe 7 days. 8-10 days would be ideal to see a weekly timeline that would include the last run of weekly jobs. Then you could compare is a job running worse or better than last week.
Gold crown: identify where jobs overlapping caused other jobs to slow down due to network throttling or some other bottleneck
GOAT: being able to set a "Tuesday baseline" or something similar. Maybe optional alerting when it diverges by some standard deviation.

Benefits:
- Seeing where you may have overlapping jobs that you need to move to another evening (synthetic full operations or maybe weekly jobs).
- Seeing where maybe moving a VM from one job to another could help smooth out jobs completing (if gold star is done).
- Seeing where a job or jobs messed up a normal timing or baseline

Thanks. Even without this, love Veeam.

I believe such view exists in Veeam ONE already, right @jorgedlcruz ?
May be not with all features mentioned but very alike.

Hi Mike

VeeamOne provides a job calendar. It also integrates with the backup console.

Interesting. We appear to have licensing for this with Data Platform Advanced, but didn't have VeeamONE installed. I'll have a take a look into that for the job calendar view. Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you so much for the ideas and feedback. As you have seen, Jobs Calendar will cover pretty much all the requests. I wanted to mention that the other views we integrate within VBR, and are native in Veeam ONE are Heatmaps:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/r ... ml?ver=120

Heatmap is one of my favorite views, combined with Job Calendar, as it clearly shows at what time of the day the proxies, and repositories, have been struggling due concurrent tasks. That view combined with jobs calendar where you can see the length of the job, I think it might give you what are you are looking after.

As you have the correct licensing, give it a quick try, we are here to help, and to listen to feedback from Customers.

Thanks a lot for giving visibility to these two great functionalities of Veeam Data Platform Advanced.
