Configure Data Collector manually for NetBackup
The primary server installation generally deploys the NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector binaries automatically. The binaries are installed to C:/Program Files/veritas/ (Windows) or /usr/openv/analyticscollector (Linux).
This section details the steps that are required to manually configure the Data Collector.
Keep the following details handy when you configure the Data Collector:
Name of the Data Collector (as configured on the portal).
Passcode of the Data Collector (as configured on the portal).
Data receiver URL (generated when you create the data collector on the portal).
Key file path (generated when you create the data collector on the portal and copied to the NetBackup primary server).
See the Add/Edit Data Collectors section in the NetBackup IT Analytics User Guide for more information.
