Configuring Collector Settings

The collector captures your Active Directory state and performs backup collections of AD objects.

Note: Active Directory collector is independent from data collection and Cygna Auditor agents.

1. Navigate to Configuration / Active Directory / Collector and select to add a new collector.
   

2. On the General step, select a domain and provide a description if necessary. You can create the collector configuration without enforcing it or turn it on right away.

3. On the Domain step, enter administrator's credentials and look up for DCs.

4. On the Options step, define collector configuration:

Option	Description
Collection interval	Specify the frequency of AD state collection.
Select a naming context	Choose a domain partition to collect data for: default, configuration, schema, or custom.
Select the collector scope	Specify the nesting level for data collection: this object only, this object and all child objects, or child objects only.
Perform a full backup on every collection interval	Enable to create full backups.

5. Check the Summary page and save configuration.
