Update Cohesity NetBackup SLP Job Details
The Cohesity NetBackup Historic SLP collection captures details on incomplete backup images and copies whose associated jobs are already captured in IT Analytics. Over time, some images and copies can remain incomplete in IT Analytics but fall outside the normal SLP collection lookback window, so they are no longer refreshed by regular SLP job collection. This utility updates that historic data by collecting information still present in the NetBackup catalog (unexpired backup images and copies) using the NetBackup nbstlutil list command, and by marking images and copies not present in the catalog as complete in IT Analytics.
Note that:
<ANALYTICS_COLLECTOR_HOME>is the Data Collector installation directory (example:C:\Program Files\Cohesity NetBackup\AnalyticsCollectoror/usr/openv/analyticscollector)Specify a date range using --start and --end together. Dates must be in the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS and enclosed in double quotes.
Process the data in 6-month windows, rather than attempting a single run across all the history, as volume of historical incomplete SLP data can be very large.
To retrieve historic SLP data, run the following command-line scripts on the Data Collector:
- On Windows:
<ANALYTICS_COLLECTOR_HOME>/mbs/bin/veritas/update_incomplete_slp_jobs.bat <primaryServerName> --start "01/01/2026 00:00:00" --end "06/30/2026 23:59:59"
- On Linux:
<ANALYTICS_COLLECTOR_HOME>/mbs/bin/veritas/update_incomplete_slp_jobs.sh <primaryServerName> --start "01/01/2026 00:00:00" --end "06/30/2026 23:59:59"
