Monitoring Veeam Backup & Replication V12.1

Question

Hello together

I want to bring our veeam backups into solarwinds. My Idea is to have the informations on a modern dashboard. I see the total jobs, running jobs, failed jobs, jobs with warning. All these informations I should get from snmp and OID. I turned on SNMP Notification in Veeam. Installed SNMP Service and configured everything successfully for solarwinds. If I create a UnDP I don't get any informations.

Did someone else some similar configuration with Veeam B&R V12.1?

Thank you for the help!

Hi Maceo, I've recently done something for our backup support team. SolarWinds has a couple of Veeam 6 & 7 backup templates but not 12. You need to grant the SolarWinds monitoring account read only access to the Veeam One/Management server to execute the PowerShell plug-in. Execute the Powershell as this account in the Application Monitor template with the PowerShell module, PS Module 1. Check for Backup Failures. $WarningPreference='silentlycontinue' $local:ErrorActionPreference="Stop" $Error.Clear() # set the default exit code to UP $iExitCode = "0" try { $jobs=Get-VBRJob | Where-Object {$_.GetLastResult() -eq "Failed"} | ForEach-Object {$_ | Select-Object @{Name="Job";Expression={$_.Name}}, @{Name="Status";Expression={$_.GetLastResult()}}} $jobs_number=($jobs | measure-object).Count Switch($jobs_number) { {$_ -ge 10} { # set exit code to Critical $iExitCode = "3" $jobs_names = ($jobs.Job) -join "; " $strMessage = "{0}" -f $jobs_names $iStatistic = "{0}" -f $jobs_number } {$_ -ge 1} { # set exit code to Warning $iExitCode = "2" $jobs_names = ($jobs.Job) -join "; " $strMessage = "{0}" -f $jobs_names $iStatistic = "{0}" -f $jobs_number } default { $strMessage = "No failed backup or replication jobs found." $iStatistic = "0" # set exit code to UP $iExitCode = "0" } } } catch { #$strMessage = "ERROR executing {0} - {1}" -f $(Get-VBRJob), $($Error[0]) $strMessage = "Error executing command" $iStatistic = "0" $iExitCode = "1" } Write-Host ("Message: {0}" -f $strMessage) Write-Host ("Statistic: {0}" -f $iStatistic) Exit $iExitCode This should give you the Backup Failure count and a list of failed Jobs. Not finished yet, but the following Code will count how many jobs are: "Successful", "Warnings", "Failed", "None". Update: code edited, Results now has message and statistical info $WarningPreference='silentlycontinue' $Error.Clear() $VeeamJobs = (Get-VBRJob).GetLastResult() $BackupJobsState = $VeeamJobs | Group-Object -AsHashTable ForEach ($jobstate in $BackupJobsState.Keys) { Write-Host ("Message.Jobs_{0}_Result: Job State: {0}" -f $jobstate) Write-Host ("Statistic.Jobs_{0}_Result: {1}" -f $jobstate, $BackupJobsState[$jobstate].Count) } Write-Host "Message.Jobs_Total_Result: Total Job Count" Write-Host ("Statistic.Jobs_Total_Result: {0}" -f $VeeamJobs.Count) If you want details on a particular job then use this code. Don't forget to replace " ENTER JOB NAME HERE " with the job name you wish to monitor $WarningPreference='silentlycontinue' $Error.Clear() # $job_name=$args[0] $job_name = " ENTER JOB NAME HERE " if ( $job_name -eq $null ) { Write-Host "Message: Can't find ""job_name"" argument. Check documentation." } try { $job_result=(Get-VBRJob -name $job_name).GetLastResult() $job_state=(Get-VBRJob -name $job_name).GetLastState() $job_session=(Get-VBRJob -name $job_name).FindLastSession().BackupStats $job_progress=(Get-VBRJob -name $job_name).FindLastSession().info } catch { Write-Host "Message: ERROR executing ""Get-VBRJob"". Possibly wrong job name argument.
