of the NSClient++ agent. Please follow our official documentation
and make sure that the Webserver / RESTApi configuration is correct.
NetBackup cli
The NetBackup CLI is available on both Windows and Linux and the Plugin uses it so it has to be installed.

--statefile-dir="scripts/centreon/tmp" in the EXTRAOPTIONS Macro within
App-Netbackup-Job-Status-NRPE-Custom Service Template.
