NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter Installation and Configuration Guide
About NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter
NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter provides an additional export mechanism for data collection from Windows or Linux hosts, including NetBackup primary servers.
NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter enables you to view and analyze the health of your Windows and Linux OS, including the NetBackup primary servers. After a successful installation, the exporter components probe the host for installed certificates and their validity, process running status, and active connections for some pre-specified processes, subsystem internals and metadata, third-party exporters for hardware related data collections, and OS-specific details.
NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter is developed using Prometheus exporter framework. Data Collection happens via a push model over HTTP connection with NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector.
The following components are installed based on the host OS:
NetBackup exporter: Exports details related to NetBackup file processing, host certificate, database file, network processes, pbx_exchange process, and block devices. Metrics are exposed on port 9099 and path /metrics.
Node exporter: Exports details of system resources like RAM, disk, CPU, and network from Linux hosts. Metrics are exposed on port 9100 and path /metrics.
Process exporter: Exports details of resources from
/proclocation on Linux hosts. Metrics are exposed on port 9256 and path /metrics..Windows exporter: Exports details of system resources like RAM, disk, CPU, and network from Windows hosts. Metrics are exposed on port 9182 path and /metrics.
Data Sender: Collects metrics from exporters configured for metrics collection based on the host OS and pushes filtered metrics to the destination NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector server.
