Veeam: Backup Job (special agent)

Included in All Checkmk editions
Source Code License Open Source
Supported Agents Special

This check monitors the status of backup jobs reported by the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API, collected via the Veeam special agent. It reports the same information as the VEEAM Job service from the Veeam agent plug-in, and additionally reports the next scheduled run, the target repository and the number of objects processed.

This check is OK if the result of the last run is Success. It is WARN if the result is Warning. It is CRIT if the result is Failed. A job with no result yet, either because it has never run or because a run is currently in progress, is OK. A disabled job is always OK; its last result is shown for information only.

A job that disappears from the API output makes the service UNKNOWN.

Item

The name of the backup job, sanitized: spaces and apostrophes are replaced by underscores.

Discovery

One service is created for each backup job reported by the API.
