Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

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, 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.

See Configuring an OpsCenter Agent.

To configure a data collector

  1. In the OpsCenter console, click Settings > Configuration > Agent.
  2. On the Agent list, select a check box in front of the Agent, for which you want to configure a Data Collector.
  3. Click Create Data Collector.
  4. Complete the fields on the Create Data Collector: Product Selection page.
  5. Click Next.

    On the Create Data Collector: Details page, the Target Details, Configuration Settings and Data Collection Settings are displayed.

  6. Verify or modify the default Target Details:

    See Data Collector Wizard settings.

  7. Enter the data collector Configuration Settings. These settings vary depending on the data collector type you configure. For product-specific configuration settings, refer to the respective data collector settings.

    See Configuring Backup Exec data collector.

  8. Enter the Data Collection Settings.
  9. Click Save.
