Step 1: Parent Inspector Setup

Since N-able Backup is a multi-tenant system where a single portal is used to manage many Environments, you will set up a single "Parent" Inspector with the API user that will then auto-discover "Child" Inspectors for each Environment.

In Liongard, navigate to Admin > Inspectors > Inspector Types > Navigate to the N-able Backup Inspector > Select Add System.

Fill in the following information:

• Type of Inspector: Parent
• Environment: Select your MSP's Environment
• Friendly Name: Suggested Naming: [MSP Environment Name] N-able Backup Parent
• Agent: Select On-Demand Agent
• Inspector Version: Latest (Auto-Update)
• Partner Name: Name of the Parent-level Company (Your MSP)
• Username: Username of the API user
• Password: Password for the API user
• Scheduling: The Inspector will default to run once a day at the time the Inspector is set up. Here you can adjust the schedule

Select Save. The Inspector will now be triggered to run within the minute.

Step 2: Child Inspector Setup

After the first run of the Parent Inspector, your client N-able Backup organizations will be auto-discovered and surfaced on the Discovered Systems page.

Navigate to the Discovered Systems tab in your Inspectors > N-able Backup page:

• Activate your Discovered Systems by ensuring they're mapped to the correct Environment > Select the checkbox to the left of Inspector(s) > Select the Actions drop-down menu > Activate Launchpoints.
• Users may also Archive Discovered Systems by Selecting the checkbox to the left of the Inspector(s) > Select the Actions drop-down menu > Archive Launchpoints.

Optional: Turn on Flexible Asset/Configuration Auto-Updating

If you would like this Inspector's data to be sent to ConnectWise and/or IT Glue, turn on Flexible Assets/Configurations for this Inspector:

• ConnectWise: Admin > Integrations > ConnectWise > Configuration Types > Confirm the "Configuration Auto-Updating" toggle is enabled
• IT Glue: Admin > Integrations > IT Glue > Flexible Assets > Confirm the "Flexible Asset Auto-Updating" toggle is enabled
