Creating a NetVault Agent

Each NetVault Agent monitors the assets inside the selected NetVault Backup environment. To enable the data collection for Foglight for NetVault, create a NetVault user with the “Monitor Presets” privilege, as well as grant this user with the access to the client groups and media groups that you want to monitor.

* 
NOTE: Make sure to assign the minimum required privilege to your NetVault agent and the agent user; otherwise this agent can not start data collection.
To create a NetVault agent:
1
Log in to the Foglight browser interface and make sure the left navigation panel is open.
2
On the navigation panel, under Homes, click NetVault Environment.
The NetVault Environment dashboard opens.
3
In the NetVault Environment dashboard, click Administration, and then click Create Agent.
The NetVault Agent Wizard dialog box opens.
4
Select Agent Host: Select the agent manager on which the new agent is to be deployed, and then click Next.
5
NetVault Properties: Specify the following values, and then click Finish.
•
Server Address: The IP address of the NetVault Server that hosts the agent instance.
•
Port: The port number used by the NetVault Server for listening to the connections from the agent instance (default: 8443).
•
Use Https: The option used to enable the agent connection using HTTPS (default: true).
•
Login Username: The name of the user that has the privileges required for connecting to the NetVault Server and retrieving information.
•
Login Password: The password of the user that has the privileges required for connecting to the NetVault Server and retrieving information.
•
Error Event Keywords: Keywords used to classify NetVault error events. Separate multiple keywords by comma.
•
Warning Event Keywords: Keywords used to classify NetVault warning events. Separate multiple keywords by comma.
•
Collected Event Classes: The option used to indicate which event classes will be collected by the agent instance. By default, all event classes available in the NetVault Server are checked.
•
Collect Log Level: The option used to indicate which logs will be collected by the agent instance. Warning and above is set by default.
The new NetVault Agent is created and its data will be shown on the Monitoring tab after a few minutes.

Configuring data collection interval

The default data collection interval of NetVault agents is set to 10 minutes by default. Foglight for NetVault enables you to change this collection interval as needed.

* 
NOTE: Changing the data collection interval will take effect for all NetVault agents.
To configure the data collection interval:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, select Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
2
On the Agent Status dashboard, select the NetVault agent that you want to monitor, and then click Edit Properties.
3
In the Edit Properties dashboard, click Edit next to the Collector Config field.
* 
NOTE: Quest highly recommends setting the Collector Config (also knowns as Collection interval) to a value that is larger than 10 minutes and is multiples of 10 minutes; otherwise the NetVault agent might not collect metrics from the NetVault Server.

Heat Map Analytics

Heat Map is a two-dimensional representation of data in which values are represented by colors. Showing collected metrics with elaborate heat maps allows you to understand complex data sets and the monitored NetVault environment well. Heat maps will be refreshed automatically when you change either of the following fields:

•
Topology Type: Indicates the monitored topology object, including Backup Server, Backup Client, Device Library, and Job.
•
Size Metric: Populates a rectangle based upon the selected metrics. For example, if you select Data Stored from the Size Metric drop-down list, the rectangle area will be populated based on the data stored in the topology object.
•
Rendering related metrics: For example, if you select Space Available and Red to Green, the rectangle of the topology object that has more available spaces will be rendered in red.
•
Color Metric: Renders the color of rectangle based upon the selected metrics.
•
Color Pattern: Offers two patterns, Red to Green (larger value shows in red) or Green to Red (larger value shows in green).

Figure 2 shows an example of heat map. This sample diagram represents the NVBU-PROD-NV12_BETA has the maximum amounts of devices and remaining spaces while NVBU-WIN-NNJ9 has the minimum amount. If you switch the Color Pattern, then NVBU-PROD-NV12_BETA will turn to green and NVBU-WIN-NNJ9 will show in red.
