Recovery point age monitor

Summary

The monitor check for the age of the most recent recovery point for the item. If it is older than the specified threshold an alert is raised. Basically it means you don't have an up to date backup of the resource.

What can I do?

There are three known causes of errors:

  1. OMS endpoints are having troubles (this can happen, but it is unlikey for an extended time)
  2. Your having problems with connectivity from the Pool members to the cloud
  3. The runas account used for connecting is no longer valid (for example has benn disbaled or has an expired password)

The alert context should report a detailed error message if any, start troubleshooting form there and check the known errors first
