NetBackup Client TCP Port

This component monitor tests the ability of a NetBackup client to accept incoming sessions from the server. By default, it monitors TCP port 13724.

Multistreamed Backups TCP port

This component monitor tests the ability of a NetBackup client to accept incoming sessions from the server. By default, it monitors TCP port 13782. This port is used to get a list of mount points for multistreamed backups. It also accesses or updates host properties for the client.

NetBackup Client Error and Warning Events

This monitor returns the number of Warning and Error messages in the Windows Application log file. It looks for the following Source Names: NetBackup, NetBackup Client Service, NetBackup Job Manager, and NetBackup Legacy Client Service. This monitor should be zero at all times. If it is not, you should look in the Windows Event Viewer for details.
