Veam Backup & SNMP

Post by samuk »

Hi,

I am trying to get alerts via SNMP into our 3rd party monitoring solution.

I have create a txt file to be used as the mib from here: http://www.veeam.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2495

*I have configured the SNMP settings within Veeam to

Receiver: IP of the machine that i am going to use a mib browser on
Community String: Public
Port 162

I am able to SNMP walk from the machine to this server, but when i try to walk using the mib browser to the ip of the veeam server i get:

(noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB. (2)


Anyone got any idea's?

That MIB file is no longer correct. I have deleted the topic.
Vitaly, could you please post the up-to-date MIB here.

Sam,

Yes, that's the default port for SNMP. Could you tell me what is the name of the failed object? As far as I know those kinds of errors should look like this:

Code: Select all

   Error in packet
   Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
   This name doesn't exist: sysUpTime
It would be great if you could PM the entire error message.

Thanks!

I believe so, but keep in mind that the above is simply a copy of MIB file that you can find in the Veeam Backup installation folder! The file will correspond the actual Veeam Backup version you have installed. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I know nothing about SNMP and OID. But after quick Googling on what SNMP OID is, I understand that all the OID information is already available in the MIB file above. So, you can just copy what you need from there.

Sure, Veeam Backup does have log files of course (see Help | Support Information). Also, Veeam Backup writes vCenter Server events with backup job results, Windows Events Log events with the same information, and can optionally populate selected custom attribute of each VM with the job results.

And of course email and SNMP notifications are available as well.
