ACE Monitoring & Alert Configuration 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Acronis Cyber Protect, which alert severity level indicates a condition that requires immediate attention and may result in data loss?
- Informational
- Warning
- Critical (Correct answer)
- Debug
Correct answer: Critical
Critical severity alerts signal conditions that demand immediate action because they can lead to data loss or service failure.
Question 2: An Acronis administrator wants to receive alert emails only when backup jobs fail, not when they succeed. Which configuration achieves this?
- Set notification frequency to 'Daily digest'
- Configure a notification rule filtered by 'Error' event type (Correct answer)
- Disable all SMTP notifications globally
- Enable verbose logging on the backup plan
Correct answer: Configure a notification rule filtered by 'Error' event type
Notification rules with event-type filters allow administrators to target only failure or error events for email delivery.
Question 3: Which Acronis component is responsible for aggregating monitoring data from multiple protected machines and presenting it in the management console?
- Acronis Agent for Windows
- Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server (Correct answer)
- Acronis Bootable Media Builder
- Acronis Storage Node
Correct answer: Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server
The Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server centralizes monitoring data from all registered agents and displays it in the web console.
Question 4: A backup plan has the 'Alert if backup has not started within' option set to 2 hours past the scheduled time. What triggers this alert?
- The backup completes in more than 2 hours
- The backup has not started 2 hours after its scheduled time (Correct answer)
- The backup window exceeds 2 hours
- The backup retention exceeds 2 hours of data
Correct answer: The backup has not started 2 hours after its scheduled time
This option triggers an alert when the backup job has not started within the specified delay after its scheduled start time.
Question 5: When configuring CPU usage monitoring in Acronis Cyber Protect, the threshold is set to 90% for 10 minutes. What does this mean?
- An alert fires immediately when CPU hits 90%
- An alert fires only if CPU stays at or above 90% continuously for 10 minutes (Correct answer)
- CPU usage is logged every 10 minutes at the 90% mark
- The agent restarts if CPU is over 90% for 10 minutes
Correct answer: An alert fires only if CPU stays at or above 90% continuously for 10 minutes
Duration-based thresholds require the metric to remain at or above the threshold for the full specified duration before an alert is generated.
Question 6: Which Acronis Cyber Protect feature allows administrators to view the real-time protection status of all managed machines on a single screen?
- Activity Log
- Dashboard (Correct answer)
- Backup Storage report
- Audit Log
Correct answer: Dashboard
The Dashboard provides a consolidated real-time view of protection status, alerts, and key metrics across all managed endpoints.
Question 7: An ACE engineer needs to suppress monitoring alerts for a machine during a planned maintenance window. What is the recommended approach in Acronis Cyber Protect?
- Uninstall the agent temporarily
- Use the maintenance mode feature to pause alert generation (Correct answer)
- Delete all alert notification rules
- Disable the machine's network adapter
Correct answer: Use the maintenance mode feature to pause alert generation
Maintenance mode suspends alert generation for the selected machine without removing the agent or altering protection plans.
