Configuring Targeted Collection for Enterprise Vault

The Enterprise Vault reactive collector lets your organization collect items that are associated with your Enterprise Vault. After an administrator configures this collector for your organization, the items that match the filter criteria can be collected in Alta eDiscovery.

You must configure the filter criteria for each Enterprise Vault reactive collector. Based on the filter criteria, the Enterprise Vault reactive collector collects the archive-level and vault-level data in Alta eDiscovery to perform all eDiscovery operations.

Prerequisite: Before you use the Enterprise Vault collector Alta eDiscovery to collect Enterprise Vault content, you need to enable this service. To enable Enterprise Vault service, do the following:

  1. Contact Veritas support team to enable the Enterprise Vault collector in Veritas Alta Archiving.

  2. Install the Enterprise Vault Agent on a server that can access your Enterprise Vault environment.

    You can download the Enterprise Vault Agent from https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/downloads
