Configuring cloud asset discovery interval

Asset discovery interval is the frequency at which the assets are discovered and populated in NetBackup.

Configure cloud asset discovery interval for VMs

By default, asset discovery of VMs happens every 4 hours. This interval represents hours and can be between 1 to 23. The value must be specified in integers.

To configure the cloud asset discovery interval

  1. Select appropriate configuration option.
    • Windows

      You can configure the discovery interval using the nbsetconfig command.

      For example

      nbsetconfig nbsetconfig>

      CLOUD_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL = 2

      The directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\

      See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

    • UNIX

      Set the CLOUD_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL parameter in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.

  2. Restart the nbdisco service.

    Asset discovery is triggered after you restart the service.

Configure cloud asset discovery interval for hosted applications

By default, asset discovery of hosted applications happens every 15 minutes. This interval represents minutes and can be between 15 to 45. The value must be specified in integers.

To configure the cloud asset discovery interval for hosted applications

  1. Select appropriate configuration option.
    • Windows

      You can configure the discovery interval using the nbsetconfig command.

      For example

      nbsetconfig nbsetconfig>

      CLOUD_HOSTED_APP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL = 15.

      The directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\

      See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

    • UNIX

      Set the CLOUD_HOSTED_APP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL parameter in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
