• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE IT Analytics Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 10.0.2.

• For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the APTARE IT Analytics Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

• Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

• For most Backup Manager systems, install the Data Collector on a server that is in the same time zone as the backup server from which you are collecting data. For Veritas NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.

• The NetWorker REST API is installed with the NetWorker installation. As part of the installation process, an Apache Tomcat instance is installed and a nonroot -user, nsrtomcat, is created. If your system has special user security requirements, ensure that proper operational permissions are granted to the nsrtomcat users.

• With the NetWorker REST API, all endpoints other than initial landing endpoint (https://your-server-name:9090/nwrestapi/) require authentication. Once a user has been authenticated by the API, permissions to NetWorker resources will be based on the NetWorker permissions for that user.

• Default port number to connect to NetWorker REST API is 9090. This value is configurable in the policy.
