About the NetInsights Console

The NetInsights Console is SaaS-based platform that allows users to manage Cohesity usage and license entitlements. NetInsights uses product diagnostic and support data to offer insights about the operational health of Cohesity systems in a single interface.

The NetInsights Console uses the AutoSupport architecture and requires Call Home to be configured and enabled on your appliance. For more information about NetInsights, see the Usage Insights for NetBackup Getting Started Guide.
