NetBackup™ for Kubernetes Administrator's Guide

Configure autodiscovery frequency

Autodiscovery keeps a count of the NetBackup protected assets in your clusters. This setting lets you set the frequency by which NetBackup runs auto discovery to locate new assets in your clusters. Gather count of the assets that are removed or deleted from the clusters.

Possible values are between 5 minutes to one year. The default value is 30 minutes.

To set the autodiscovery frequency

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Kubernetes.
  2. On top-right, click Kubernetes settings > Autodiscovery.
  3. Click Edit, near Frequency.
  4. Enter the number of hours after which NetBackup runs autodiscovery. Click Save.
Run full and incremental discovery

Once the Kubernetes cluster is added, autodiscovery cycle is triggered to discover all the assets available on the Kubernetes cluster. The first autodiscovery of the day is a full discovery and subsequent autodiscoveries are incremental.

To run a discovery

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Kubernetes.
  2. In the Kubernetes clusters list, locate the cluster name. Then click Actions > Discover now.

Here, incremental discovery fetches only those NetBackup assets which are changed in the cluster since last discovery run. Therefore, the first discovery is full and all subsequent ones are incremental discovery.
