Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (Cohesity DataProtect)

Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:

  • 64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

  • When the NetBackup IT Analytics system collects data from any vendor subsystem, the collection process expects name/value pairs to be in US English, and requires the installation to be done by an Administrator with a US English locale. The server's language version can be non-US English.

  • Supports Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).

  • For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

  • Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

  • User must be assigned the Cohesity Operator role
