NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter Installation and Configuration Guide

Last Published: 2024-09-04

Product(s): NetBackup IT Analytics (11.3)

Resolves invalid sender ID related to security changes

If the Data Collector version is 11.3 or above and NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter version installed on Windows or Linux hosts (including NetBackup Primary Servers) is below 11.3, then you must again copy the Compute Resource Sender ID and NetBackup Sender ID to the NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter configuration and restart the exporter services as described below.

Step-1: Depending on the Data Collector policy and probe that is configured, get the Sender ID as follows from the Portal:

For NetBackup Resources Monitor probe, go to Admin tab > Data Collection > Collector Administration and select the Veritas NetBackup Data Collector Policy assigned to the NetBackup Primary Server. On the policy screen, click the Copy Sender ID icon next to the NetBackup Resources Monitor probe label
For Compute Resource probe, go to Admin tab > Data Collection > Collector Administration and select the Compute Resources Data Collector Policy assigned to the Windows or Linux hosts (including NetBackup Primary Servers). On the policy screen, click the Copy Sender ID icon next to the Compute Resources probe label

Step-2: Configure NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter installed on Windows or Linux hosts (including NetBackup Primary Servers) with the new Sender ID:

Logon to the Windows or Linux hosts (including NetBackup Primaries) that has Exporter services installed.
Stop NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter services.
- Linux: /opt/itanalytics/bin/exporter_services stop
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\ITAnalytics\bin\stopallexporterservices.bat

Update configuration file to have the latest Compute Resource Sender ID or NetBackup Resource Monitor Sender ID.

Linux host: /opt/itanalytics/config/datasender.yaml

Copy the NetBackup Resource Monitor Probe Sender ID to job_id attribute under "netbackup" exporters.
Copy the Compute Resource Sender ID to job_id attribute under "node" and "process" exporters.
