Veeam: Restore points

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

This check monitors the restore points of a machine (e.g. a virtual machine) backed up by a Veeam Backup & Replication server, collected via the Veeam special agent. It reports the age of the last restore point, the number of restore points, the platform, the object type, the type of the last restore point and the malware status.

This check is CRIT if the object has no restore point at all, since it cannot be recovered. It is UNKNOWN if the last restore point is not found. WARN and CRIT levels can be set for the age of the last restore point (default: 30 and 48 hours).

The malware status is the worst one across all restore points of the object: OK if clean or informative, WARN if suspicious, CRIT if infected and UNKNOWN for any other value. This mapping is not configurable.

Discovery

One service is created on each backed up machine, delivered via piggyback to the host named after the machine's name in its Veeam backup chain (the same host that receives the Veeam backup services). A machine backed up by several jobs, or by several Veeam servers, gets one service for all of them.
