Veeam Backup & Replication by HTTP

Overview

This template is designed to monitor Veeam Backup & Replication. It works without any external scripts and uses the script item.

NOTE: The native Veeam Backup & Replication REST API (port 9419) is available only in editions that include REST API functionality.

Supported editions include:

  1. Veeam Universal License (VUL) editions:
  • Foundation
  • Advanced
  • Premium
  1. Socket-based editions:
  • Enterprise
  • Enterprise Plus
  1. Community Edition
  • Supported with workload limitations defined by Veeam licensing.

See Veeam Data Platform Feature Comparison for more details.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 8.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication, version 13.1.1.18

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

  1. Create a user to monitor the service or use an existing read-only account.

See Veeam Help Center for more details. NOTE: License, Authorization Events, and Security Analyzer Data require the "Backup Administrator" role; without it, these items are not supported.

  1. Link the template to a host.
  2. Configure the following macros: {$VEEAM.API.URL}, {$VEEAM.API.VERSION}, {$VEEAM.USER}, and {$VEEAM.PASSWORD}.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$VEEAM.API.URL}

The Veeam API endpoint is a URL in the format <scheme>://<host>:<port>.

 https://localhost:9419
{$VEEAM.API.VERSION}

 1.3-rev2
{$VEEAM.HTTP.PROXY}

Sets the HTTP proxy to http_proxy value. If this parameter is empty, then no proxy is used.
{$HTTP.TLS.VERIFY}

TLS certificate verification for script items: "none" - disabled, "peer" - verify the certificate chain and expiration, "full" - full verification. Any other value enables full verification. To override the setting for this template only, define the macro with the context "Veeam Backup & Replication", e.g. {$HTTP.TLS.VERIFY:"Veeam Backup & Replication"}.
