To configure an application plug-in

1. Sign in to the NetBackup Web UI and from the left navigation pane, click Workloads > Cloud and then select the Virtual machines tab.
2. From the list of assets, search for the application host where you installed and registered the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agent.

   Click to select the application host and verify that the Configure application button appears in the top bar.

3. Click Configure application and from the drop-down list, select the application plug-in that you want to configure, and then click Configure.

   For example, if you want to configure the NetBackup Snapshot Manager plug-in for Microsoft SQL, choose Microsoft SQL Server.

4. After the plug-in is configured, trigger an assets discovery cycle.

   Click the Snapshot Managers tab and then from the desired NetBackup Snapshot Manager server row, click the action button from the right and then click Discover.

5. After the discovery is completed, click the Virtual machines tab and verify the state of the application host. The Application column in the assets pane displays a value as Configured and this confirms that the plug-in configuration is successful.
6. Click on the Applications tab and verify that the application assets are displayed in the assets list.

   For example, if you have configured the Microsoft SQL plug-in, the Applications tab displays the SQL Server instances, databases, and SQL Availability Group (AG) databases that are running on the host where you configured the plug-in.

   You can now select these assets and start protecting them using protection plans.
