About inSync Connector Status
Once configured, inSync tracks the inSync Connector status dynamically. Hence, you must refer to Settingwheel > inSyncSettings > Connectors tab > Connectors page to verify the inSync Connector status whenever required. inSync also raises alerts on the inSync Management Console and sends alert notifications whenever a Connector is down.
On the contrary, Druva recommends avoiding checking the connector status from its host as it displays a static value and may differ from its status displayed on the inSync Management Console.
