OpsCenter Data Collector types
The OpsCenter data collectors, collect data from backup product hosts. Each data collector collects data from a single product host. You can configure multiple data collectors on a single OpsCenter Agent host.
You can create data collectors to communicate with the various products, such as Backup Exec. These data collectors collect the specified data type as specified in the configuration. You can specify to collect all or some of the data types for that product. For example, Backup Exec data collector can collect Tape Drive information, Media, Policy and Schedule, Job, or Image.
Note:
Error logs and skipped files are collected as part of job data.
You can enable or disable a data collector.
Table: Data collector types lists the data collectors that you can configure in OpsCenter.
Table: Data collector types
Data Collector type | Description |
|---|---|
Veritas Backup Exec Data Collector (Windows only) | Create this data collector to collect data from Backup Exec. |
NetBackup PureDisk Data Collector | Create this data collector to collect data from NetBackup PureDisk. See Collecting data from PureDisk. Note: You can collect the PureDisk data only through the OpsCenter Integrated Agent that is installed with the OpsCenter server. To collect PureDisk data, you need to create a data collector for the Integrated Agent. |
