View and modify the data collector registration
The data collector collects metadata from NetBackup and sends it to Alta View or IT Analytics. To receive data from the data collector, you need to register Alta View or IT Analytics with the data collector.
Note:
Either Alta View or IT Analytics can be registered with a single data collector at a time.

After the data collector is registered with Alta View or IT Analytics, you can view the registration and the connection status using the NetBackup web UI.
