Managing objects collected from centralized systems
When collecting from a centralized system, such as Hitachi Device Manager or vCenter, NetBackup IT Analytics relies on the system to supply the information on the devices and resources that are available. For objects collected via a centralized system, there are two methods for removing collected objects:
: Go to the Data Collector policy in the Portal and use the "Exclude" field to exclude objects from collection. For example, for Hitachi Data Systems, you would exclude arrays in the Data Collector policy. Similarly, for VMware, you would exclude ESX servers in the Data Collector policy. When you exclude objects through a Data Collector policy, NetBackup IT Analytics will automatically delete these objects from the reporting database.
Alternatively, you can go to the centralized system and decommission the object. In this case, you must also delete the object from the NetBackup IT Analytics database.
