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.

See About the data collector.

See Register the data collector with Alta View.

See Register the data collector with IT Analytics.

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.

You can also modify some of the registration parameters.

To view and modify the data collector registration

  • On the top right, select Settings > Data collector registration.

    NetBackup indicates if the data collector on the NetBackup primary server is registered with Alta View or IT Analytics.

    If the data collector on the NetBackup primary server is registered with Alta View, the following details are displayed.

    • Proxy server - Shows if the proxy server is enabled or disabled.

      Click Edit to modify the proxy server settings.

    • Data collection - Shows if the data collection is enabled or disabled.

      Turn on the option if you want the data collector to start collecting data from the NetBackup primary server.

    • WebSocket status - Shows the status of the connection between the data collector and the Alta View server.

      The WebSocket may be disconnected in certain cases.

      For example, the data collector is disconnected from the Alta View server after the Alta View token has expired.

      See Renew the Alta View token.

    If the data collector on the NetBackup primary server is registered with IT Analytics, the following details are displayed.

    • Proxy server - Shows if the proxy server is enabled or disabled.

      Select Edit to modify the proxy server settings.

    • Data collection - Shows if the data collection is enabled or disabled.

      Turn on the option if you want the data collector to start collecting data from the NetBackup primary server.
