NetBackup™ for Kubernetes Administrator's Guide

To create an intelligent group

1. On the left click Kubernetes, under Workloads.
2. Click the Intelligent groups tab and then, click + Add.
3. Enter a name and description for the group.
4. Under Clusters section, click Add clusters
5. In the Add clusters window, select one or multiple clusters from the list and click Select the selected clusters are added to the intelligent group.

   Note:

   Intelligent group can be created across multiple clusters. Ensure that you have the required permissions to add clusters in the group. To view and manage the group, the group administrator must have the view and manage permission for the selected clusters and groups.

6. Under the Select assets section, do one of the following:

   • Select Include all assets.

     This option uses a default query to select all assets for backup when the protection plan runs.

   • To select only the assets that meet specific conditions, create your own query: Click Add condition.

   • To add label conditions for the assets, click Add label condition to add

7. To add a condition, use the drop-downs to select a keyword and operator and then enter a value.

   To change the effect of the query, click + Condition and click AND or OR, then select the keyword, operator, and value for the condition.

   Note:

   To add label conditions, click Add label condition enter the label key and value.

   Note:

   You can choose to have only a label key in the condition without the label value. As value is optional parameter to add a label condition.

   Note:

   To add sub-query, click Add sub-query. You can add multiple level sub-queries.

8. To test the query, click Preview.

   The query-based selection process is dynamic. Changes in the Kubernetes cluster can affect which assets the query selects when the protection plan runs. As a result, the assets that the query selects later when the protection plan runs may not be identical to those currently listed in the preview.

   Note:

   When using queries in Intelligent groups, the NetBackup web UI might not display an accurate list of assets that match the query if the query condition has non-English characters.

   Using the not equals filter condition on any attribute returns assets including those that have no value (null) present for the attribute.

   Note:

   When you click Preview or you save the group, the query options are treated as case-sensitive when the assets are selected for the group.

9. To save the group without adding it to a protection plan, click Add.
10. To save the group with adding it to a protection plan, click Add and protect.
11. To subscribe the group to a protection plan, click Add protection.

    Select the group and apply a protection plan to it, click Protect.

    The selected asset group is successfully subscribed to the protection plan.
