Question

Disabling Data Collection For Decommissioned Veeam Instances


When decommissioning a Veeam Backup & Replication server instance, the log collection in Backup Enterprise Manager continues to run for those Veeam servers.   Due to this, the collection logs always show as failed because the server is no longer in existence.  Since I need to retain the backup logs for audit purposes, I cannot remove these Veeam instances from the BEM console since that also removes all audit logs for that Veeam instance.  I’d like to request a feature to disable log collection for Veeam instances that no longer are functioning but still need to be retained in the console for audit purposes.  This way I know if the log collection is successful on existing servers that still need it.

Feature requests are handled in the R&D forums only, you could make a post over there:

That is a great suggestion but you will need to add this in the fourms for better visibility - https://forums.veeam.com
