Question

Monitor AWS Jobs via PowerShell in Veeam Backup & Replication.

D

Hello,

We are using Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.0.310, integrated with Veeam Backup for AWS 8.1.0.7. Our environment is monitored using Zabbix, and we have developed PowerShell scripts for this purpose.

However, we are facing difficulties retrieving information about jobs running in AWS from our Veeam Backup & Replication server. While we can successfully monitor all on-premises jobs, we are unable to list the jobs running in AWS.

The integration is properly configured, and we can access information about the AWS-hosted servers, but the jobs themselves are not visible.

Is it possible to retrieve this information using PowerShell?

Thank you!

There is a Powershell module for AWS and this is what I was able to find for displaying the jobs and it is PS code.

# Import the Veeam Backup for AWS module
Import-Module Veeam.Backup.Aws.PowerShell

# Connect to the Veeam Backup for AWS server
Connect-VBAws -Server "your-server-address" -User "your-username" -Password "your-password"

# Retrieve the list of backup jobs
$backupJobs = Get-VBAwsJob

# Display the backup jobs
$backupJobs | Format-Table -Property Name, Type, Status, LastRun

# Disconnect from the Veeam Backup for AWS server
Disconnect-VBAws

Hi Chris.Childerhose,

I hope you're doing well!

I have a quick question—can I install this module on the VBR server?

Thanks,
Diego

Yes you should be able to.  I have never used it so cannot say for sure.  Only way is to try.
