Data Collection Policies
Data Collectors are configured with data collection policies. Which data collection policy to choose depends on what data you need to collect. Within NetBackup IT Analytics, there are data collection policies for Storage, Data Protection, Network & Fabrics, Virtualization, File Analytics and Cloud. The types of data collection policies available to you also depends on the NetBackup IT Analytics license that you have purchased.
The Cohesity NetBackup Data Collection Policy collects NetBackup-specific data regarding NetBackup backup policies, jobs, job successes, failures, etc., from NetBackup or Cohesity Alta Data Protection, whether the NetBackup Primary resides on a dedicated NetBackup server, a Flex Appliance, or a NetBackup Appliance.
To collect storage and capacity information specific to NetBackup Appliances or Flex, you can configure the Cohesity Flex Appliance or Cohesity NetBackup Appliance Data Collection Policy. A Distributed Data Collector is required for the Cohesity NetBackup Appliance data collection policy.
