Prerequisites for adding data collectors (Veeam Backup & Replication)
Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:
64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
When the IT Analytics system collects data from any vendor subsystem, the collection process expects name/value pairs to be in US English, and requires the installation to be done by an Administrator with a US English locale. The server's language version can be non-US English.
Supports Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).
For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the IT Analytics Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.
Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).
Requires a Microsoft Windows Data Collector server
Requires Microsoft PowerShell 4.0 or above. Veeam Backup & Replication comes with a PowerShell extension - a snap-in to Microsoft Windows PowerShell. The Veeam Backup PowerShell snap-in enables most operations that are available in the user interface. For version 11.0, Veeam Backup & Replication comes with a PowerShell module which can be used on any machine with the backup console installed.
Veeam Requirement: User credentials with a Veeam Backup Administrator role are required to connect to a Veeam Backup Server using Veeam Backup PowerShell snap-in or PowerShell module (version 11.0).
Veeam Backup & Replication Console must be installed on the system where the Data Collector service is running.
Default port is 9392.
