Prerequisites

• Administrator access to NetWorker
• A Windows NetWorker server, PowerShell must be installed
• The latest version of the Live Optics collector

1. Open the Live Optics collector and select Data Protection. Select NetWorker from the list of asset types.
2. Enter the IP address for the NetWorker host, Port Number, Username, and Password. 
   
    
   
   
    
3. Select the Upload Option, either Automatically (recommended) or Upload Later, and click Next.
4. If Upload Automatically was selected, enter the project name to be created, and click Next. If Upload Later was selected, enter the file name and directory to save the SIOKIT file.
5. Click Continue to begin collecting data. A status bar indicates the progress. The upload may take some time to complete depending on the speed of the Internet connection.
6. If Upload Automatically is selected, the data is sent to the Live Optics portal. If Upload Later is selected, the SIOKIT must be manually uploaded to the Live Optics portal. An option to create a SIOKIT for backup is provided. This step can be skipped. Data is saved to an encrypted file, named [hostname]_NetWorker.siokit, and is written to the same folder where the collector was run. Use this option when the host running the collector does not have Internet.
7. If Upload Automatically is selected, the collector indicates when the upload is completed. Click Quit to close the collector. A confirmation email is sent from Live Optics when the project is ready for viewing in the web portal.
8. If Upload Later is selected, the SIOKIT must be manually uploaded to the Live Optics portal. See Uploading SIOKIT file in the Live Optics collector for more information.  
9. To view the project results, log in to the Live Optics web portal and select the project from the recent projects displayed on the main dashboard. The NetWorker Online Viewer displays a downloadable summary which features illustrative graphs imported from Excel spreadsheet data points.
