Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

Well, do you have any special character in the password that can escape the double quotes?, if so, you can always can try creating a local admin in VBR server, give it access in the console with an easier pass and give it a go. Hi @jorge.delacruz after using a simple password, it can push some data to influx dB. there is a new error as below   Hello, you can omit that, it is just a job that is in progress.Cheers

AI meets API - would you chat with your backup server? (feedback wanted)

Hi @benyoung,   a very interesting topic, which I also familiarized myself with at the beginning of the year. I started something similar with Powershell. The focus was not on automating tasks but on querying the status of the backup environment. I named the project Zoltan (inspired by the movie Big with Tom Hanks) ;) Initially, I also used Chat GPT based analysis, but I abandoned it because many people certainly don't want to give their "data treasures" to external. Some of the questions Zoltan was able to answer: when was the last successful backup for job which hosts were protected in backup job on a specific date what was the average job duration for job over the past 14 days were there any suspicious backup sizes in job  over the past 14 days A little demo    I had also planned a diagram output, but had to freeze the "project" due to other priorities. Powershell is also not necessarily suitable for larger environments (at that time I could not yet query all desired informatio

Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

Appears I’m a bit stuck and haven’t been able to resolve the issue. Upon running the script I get the following errors Writing veeam_vbr_info to InfluxDB ./veeam_backup_and_replication.sh: line 63: influx: command not found Writing veeam_vbr_sessions to InfluxDB ./veeam_backup_and_replication.sh: line 112: influx: command not found   Both lines reference “influx write \” . Any ideas what I might be missing here? You need the InfluxDB Client, if running the script from an InfluxDB server, that is installed, if not, it is required: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/tools/influx-cli/?t=Linux

Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

I’m running Influx, Telegraf, and Grafana on a windows box. It was MUCH easier to get it setup in Linux, especially because I wanted it to have automatic windows updates/reboot, and have it start itself and display on a dashboard without any intervention. I got it going but if you follow a Linux Grafana tutorial it just seems to be so much easier.    That being said, I need to try this dashboard out. It looks great.  What permissions are needed to gather the data? Can I create a read only account for this?    Hello, there is not such thing as readonly API accounts today I am afraid, so you will need an administrator account. That being said, I am expecting your VBR is already hardened enough to have MFA for RDP, all ports secured, etc. You can enable the API port incoming only from the Linux box, etc.

Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

Is it possible to monitor multiple VBR with this system or is limited to the one specified in the configuration? Hello, it is one VBR per file for now. But very easy to create more, just have different .sh Not much different that what Veeam ONE does today, polling every VBR.

Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

@jorge.delacruz can you supply multiple VBR servers in the script file?  Still working on the VEM one with no results so far.  Maybe this would work as an alternative. Hello, well yes, you can create different .sh and schedule them. I am not sure if managing multiple VBRs within one script is a good idea. Maybe if I tune it to specify VBRs and credentials on different files.

Hello RonV,Yes, RESTful API works only on Enterprise Plus, for both, VBR and EM. If I have time I might build something using Windows Events combined with PowerShell perhaps.

Thanks for sharing.  I’m not using EM, so this is super helpful! I have seen already a few members of the Community with this dashboard added to their infrastructure, and it looks soooo fresh. Feel fresh to share yours as long as no private data is there :)

Grafana, and InfluxDB can be installed on Windows. The dashboard will work, what it requires Linux is the bash shell script. I guess if I port all my scripts to PS all of this can be Windows some day. Let me know if you ended giving it a try. :)

Veeam ONE - Extensibility, and Enterprise Observability. How to forward VONE alarms to any Syslog

I love VONE but with Grafana seems to be the way. Thanks for sharing Jorge. Yes, Veeam ONE has so many real-time alerts about pretty much everything that is important, like Backups, VM performance, VB365, Licensing, etc. Sending those to a normal syslog, whatever that is, I think is very important :)

Monitoring Veeam Backup Server with Checkmk

Jorge de la Cruz is watching you.. 👀😅 Hhahah I only watch to admire great work. You know I am a big fan of Grafana and other monitoring OSE tools, the more, the better. There is not a single product that gives you everything, but combining some, you can get the level of visibility/audit/compliance you need :)

Enhanced Visibility across Veeam Portfolio using RESTful API and Grafana

Hello @Sgabar Sorry, I missed your message 2 weeks ago! @cymon is right for the Veeam Backup & Replication Dashboard made using Enterprise Manager. For Veeam Backup for Azure/AWS/GCP/Microsoft 365 the Community edition has full API funcionality enabled, so the dashboards would work with those even running Community Edition. Thanks!

I do all of this open source monitoring as a passion, never took any payment, or gift in exchange.My time ir pretty limited, but if you want to expand the visibility of your platform with open source tools like Grafana, and monitor other stuff (including other backup products buhhh) you can always take a look at what others are doing, it is pretty comprehensive - https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/ Thanks a lot!
