IT Analytics Data Collector Installation and Configuration Guide for Cohesity NetBackup

Configuring file analytics in NetBackup Data Collector policy

File Analytics leverages the data collection capabilities of the NetBackup Data Collector Policy, and in turn, provides insights into the organizational files. The data backups enable file-level visibility and the data thus collected is used to populate various reports and dashboards for further analyses. File Analytics can prove crucial in detecting ransomware attacks or detecting restricted content and policy breach.

However, enabling File Analytics can impact your portal server performance, as it imposes additional load of retrieving the file metadata. Ensure you adhere to the sizing guidelines and the prerequisites for File Analytics to function seamlessly.
