IT Analytics Data Collector Installation and Configuration Guide for Cohesity NetBackup

Load Veritas NetBackup events

The Cohesity NetBackup Historic collection is limited to capturing details on successful backup images that are still present in the NetBackup catalog (i.e. unexpired backup images). This historic information is captured using the NetBackup bpimagelist command.

The failed jobs are not:

  • the part of the historic collection as they are not present in the catalog

  • point-in-time metrics such as job throughput.

The following are the steps to execute historic collection from the portal:

  1. Log in to the portal.

  2. Navigate to Admin >> Data Collection >> Collector Administration.

  3. Expand the collector and then select the NetBackup Policy.

  4. Click Run. The Run Cohesity NetBackup Collection dialog box is displayed.

  5. Click Historic Collection.

  6. Clear the Enable Real-Time Logs check box.

  7. Clear the Enable Debug Logs check box.

  8. Select the appropriate Start Date and End Date.

  9. Specify one or more Client Name(s), separated by commas, to limit historic collection to only these specified clients. For example, Client_a, Client_b

  10. Click Start.

IT Analytics gathers backup events from both the NetBackup catalog and the NetBackup activity log. Specify the date range for the backup jobs that occurred during a given time period.

To minimize the impact on performance, upload the backup events for each individual client. However, in many cases, this is not practical. Therefore, several methods are provided to accommodate various needs. Only successful jobs are retrieved from the NetBackup environment.
