PowerShell Veeam backup status report

Post by pizzim13 » 1 person likes this post

I wrote the following script a while back to get a single email, once every 24 hours with the status of any job who's last state was in error or warning. For the amount of Veeam servers and backup jobs I have running, getting individual emails for every job (success, failure, or warning) and it's retries was just too much. And the email that can be sent from Enterprise Manager doesn't have enough detail. This script has a lot moving parts but hopefully it can help someone out.

The following is an example of the report's output:

The "msgs" have been truncated for the screenshot.

The following code was written to support multiple Veeam servers, not all code is supported by Veeam, uses a config.xml file, uses Powershell SecureStrings to encrypt passwords (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/maga ... 14574.aspx), uses PowerShell Remoting (https://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptin ... mands.aspx), runs as a scheduled task, if I had to rewrite this today I would probably change some things but it works :) , and lastly use at your own risk:

Code: Select all

$ErrorActionPreference = "stop"

#html styling
$style = "<style>"
$style = $style + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
$style = $style + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 1px;border-style:double;border-color: black;}"
$style = $style + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 5px;border-style:double;border-color: black;}"
$style = $style + "</style>"

$VeeamSrvSessions = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList 
foreach ($VeeamSrv in $Config.AppSettings.VeeamSrvs.HostName)
	{
	$VeeamSrvSessions.add((New-PSSession -ComputerName $VeeamSrv -Credential $VeeamCreds)) | out-null

The following is the config file. Fill in the blanks with your info and save the file as config.xml in the same directory as your powershell script. The account you use the authenticate to your Veeam servers must be admins and be a dbo to your Veeam database.

Hello,

Thx for your script. It seems pretty good.

I still receive an issue when I start it.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/unledghwu.png
(Sorry it's in french. To summarize : Method call failed because [Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBJob] doenst have a method named : GetLastResult)

Do you have any idea why ?
I saw in some forum they use GetLastResult -nq. What's the difference between -ne and -nq?

Thx

Re: PowerShell Veeam backup status report

I think I found my issue.
I wasnt using Veeam Backup Version 5.0.

Actually :
- Windows Server 2003 SP2 with Powershell v2.0 installed
- Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0 with Powershell KIT
- Powershell Remoting Works (Invoke command working)
- PSSession Works
- PSSnapin Works.


But when I start the script I receive this message :
AVERTISSEMENT : You should update your PowerShell to PowerShell 2.0 version.
(I checked Powershell version on each server, and it's 2.0)

I receive a mail, but it's empty.

I really need help to make this wokring.

Waiting for an answer.

The path of least resistance would be to test the individual parts of the script on your local veeam server. This way you won't have the extra variable of powershell remoting to troubleshoot. One thing to check is the permissions on the account you are using for ps remoting has on your veeam database. It needs to have administrative rights.

"You should update your PowerShell to PowerShell 2.0 version." pay that warning no mind. It comes up in my environment also.

Do you have multiple veeam servers? If not, rip out the ps remoting bits and run the script locally on your veeam server.

I wonder if Veeam are checking the PS version with $host.version somewhere and throwing this warning.

Ok i'll check Administrative rights.

I tried his scripts on local, remote, different kind of server.
It looks working only on Veeam 5.0, because there are different command btw 4.0 and 5.0 and I still receive an empty email.
I have too much server with different installation (Powershell V1/V2, Veeam 4.0/5.0, PowerShell toolkit), so this script isnt great for me.

However, I started my own script to check Veeam Backup which should working on all kind of Veeam.
Actually, it's working well.

On Veeam 4.0 i'm using FindLastJobSession method to get information.
How Can I get Reason when a Backup Failed?! Or Vm Message?
Which Method should I call?

Thx for your help and answer btw.

I am not sure what the "Reason" call is for version 4. The method Peter is calling is technically unsupported and had to be grabbed through the DLLs/Code directly. It is a .NET call more-so than powershell, so the difference between 4 and 5 I am not sure about.

Thx for your answers.

I create my own script to test. And I finaly succeeded.
Method between version 4.x and version 5.x are totally different.
So I made a script for version 4 and another one for version 5.

Actually, I can report Veeam Backup Job on a nagios/centreon server + I can receive a mail.

It took me alot of time, but finaly, it's working :d
I'm so happy.


VERSION 4 Exemple for STATUS :
- For a specific job : (Get-VBRJOB $JOBNAME).FindLastJobSession().Status
- For All Job : Get-VBRJob | Select-Object @{Name="Job";Expression={$_.Name}} , @{Name="Status";Expression={$_.LatestStatus}}

VERSION 5 Exemple for STATUS :
- For All Job : Get-VBRJob | Select-Object @{Name="Status";Expression={$_.GetLastResult()}}

At a quick glance, this looks like it would work with v6. Are you having issues running it in v6?

Nice to hear that people are using it. I have only tinkered with v6. Once we have decided the best way to setup v6 for our environment, I will make revisions to this script and post them when finished. As Seth asked, what issues are you running into?

Since I don't have v6 installed I cannot help you troubleshoot this. I have crudely bolted on more tables to this report since its initial posting so I see a rewrite in my v6 future.

I'd love to see a script that will work with v6. We currently have both replication and backups jobs. Rather than receiving a bunch of emails for each job, I'd rather just see a full report sent at the same time every day. I'm sure, in future releases of B&R, we will probably see a built-in session/report manager which would be able to store historical details. But for now, a daily email report seems to be the only option. Has anyone successfully used this on Server 2008 R2 with V6?

But this is possible even today with Enterprise Manager, have you had a chance to review it?

The only thing I've been able to see in the Enterprise Manager is a daily report that tells me how many errors/warnings/success there was. But thats it, no details as to what jobs failed or anything like that.

has anyone ever figured out a work-around for the error message when using Version 6?

As stated, the script does not work for version 6. There is not a work-around per-se, a re-write would need to be done. The error you are getting simply means you are getting no data. It cannot convert nothing into something is what that error means.

Due to the number of request for a similar script for V6 here is my first quick pass at updating this script to work with VBR 6.x. The change was very minor, basically removing the "unsupported" call and replacing it with a call to a couple of new methods available in the 6.x powershell interface. Tested very lightly in my lab, but please feel free to give it a try and report.

Code: Select all

$ErrorActionPreference = "stop"

    #html styling
    $style = "<style>"
    $style = $style + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
    $style = $style + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 1px;border-style:double;border-color: black;}"
    $style = $style + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 5px;border-style:double;border-color: black;}"
    $style = $style + "</style>"

    $VeeamCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Config.AppSettings.Creds.veeam.username, ($Config.AppSettings.Creds.veeam.EncryptedPass | ConvertTo-SecureString)

    $VeeamSrvSessions = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
    foreach ($VeeamSrv in $Config.AppSettings.VeeamSrvs.HostName)
       {
       $VeeamSrvSessions.add((New-PSSession -ComputerName $VeeamSrv -Credential $VeeamCreds)) | out-null
       }

Re: PowerShell Veeam backup status report

Post by Gav@GH »

I have done some work on collating a number of reporting scripts into a single backup status report.

Check out the post over in this thread http://forums.veeam.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13422

We had this report running last year, but in the process of updating to 6.5 and moving from a local SQL server to remote sql, the report is now failing.

Code: Select all

PS D:\Reports> .\test.ps1

Id     Name            PSJobTypeName   State         HasMoreData     Location             Command

Any ideas? I've tried other reports, but the information and formatting of this one is spot on for our needs.
(The powershell version is 3.0)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are using a remote sql server it is probably a problem with credssp 2nd hop authentication. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/arch ... count.aspx This article will show you how to turn it on

The same issue is also documented here on the forums at http://forums.veeam.com/viewtopic.php?f ... +scripting and includes a simple script to set all parameters (including a parameter to increase the shell memory which can also be an issue that causes a similar problem).

This works great for us as well with one exception. For any job that fails, is it possible to add which one failed and/or if the issue had been resolved?
