Running Data Analytics on a Client Computer

You can perform Data Analytics on a client computer from the CommCell Console to collect analytics information about a single client.

Supported Agents

You can run Analytics on clients with the following agents installed:

  • File System Agent

  • NDMP Agent when a snapshot job is cataloged or there is a backup copy.

  • Macintosh File System Agent

  • Exchange Mailbox (Classic) Agent

Notes

  • Compliance Archiver jobs are not supported.

  • Running Data Analytics on a VM client is not supported. To analyze VM clients, you can run analytics from the Client Computer Group that contains the VM clients (see Running Data Analytics on a Client Computer Group).

Before You Begin

  • You must have the necessary permissions and associations to run an Analytics job.

    For more information, see User Requirements to Run Analytics Jobs in the CommCell Console.

  • Ensure the appropriate file system or email agent is installed on the client for the type of Analytics job that you want to run.

  • Data on the client must have been backed up at least once.

  • Ensure the Index Server that you select is configured for Data Analytics.

    For more information, see Getting Started with Data Analytics.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers.

  2. Right-click the client computer, point to All Tasks, and then click Run Analytics.

  3. In Data Analytics Options: client computer, configure the options for the analytics operation:

    • To collect file system data, click Files.

    • Click the Select Index Server list and select the Index Server you want to use.

    • Under Number of Readers, configure the number of data streams that you want to use on the Index Server for this operation.

    • Optional: If you have previously run Data Analytics on the client with the same Index Server and want to delete the existing analytics data before running this job, select Clean Up Analyzed Data (if any).

      Warning: If you select this option, you will not be able to recover the analytics data for the client, even if the job fails.

  4. Optional: If you want to schedule the analytics operation, click Job Initiation and configure the scheduling options. For more information, see Scheduling Data Analytics Operations.

  5. Optional: To configure advanced job options, click Advanced and configure the advanced options. For more information, see Configuring Advanced Options for Data Analytics Operations.
