The following are the steps to execute historic collection from the portal:
Log in to the portal.
Navigate to Admin >> Data Collection >> Collector Administration.
Expand the collector and then select the NetBackup Policy.
Click Run. The Run Cohesity NetBackup Collection dialog box is displayed.
Click Historic Collection.
Clear the Enable Real-Time Logs check box.
Clear the Enable Debug Logs check box.
Select the appropriate Start Date and End Date.
Specify one or more Client Name(s), separated by commas, to limit historic collection to only these specified clients. For example, Client_a, Client_b
Click Start.
NetBackup IT Analytics gathers backup events from both the NetBackup catalog and the NetBackup activity log. Specify the date range for the backup jobs that occurred during a given time period.
To minimize the impact on performance, upload the backup events for each individual client. However, in many cases, this is not practical. Therefore, several methods are provided to accommodate various needs. Only successful jobs are retrieved from the NetBackup environment.
