Configuring an OpsCenter Data Collector
OpsCenter is designed to provide extensive reporting on the data that is received from backup products. OpsCenter consists of Server, Agent, OpsCenter View Builder, and a console. The OpsCenter Agent contains product-specific data collectors collecting data from the products and returning it to the OpsCenter Server. You can generate various business reports on this backup data.
After you install and configure an OpsCenter Agent, configure the data collectors.
