Process or service specific only to Veeam Proxy (v12.2)

[soramanego]

Hi,
Is there any service or process specific only to Veeam Proxies?

I need to set an alert threshold on my monitoring system for all the proxies. I could link it to the servers' names, but I would like to automate it when new proxies are added in the future.
A specific process or service is usually the way to go.
I saw the "VssProxySvc" and "Data Mover" services, but they are also running on other "non-proxy" Veeam servers.
Any idea?

Hi Saverio,

I think a combination of the server name + the services running + a few specific paths should be enough. Or if you deploy from a template, just include some file in a unique location and name it appropriately "deployed_veeam_proxy" and parse for that with your monitoring tools.

If you want to use services/processes:

You should have in services:

VeeamDeploySvc
VeeamTransportSvc

For processes:

Veeam.Guest.Interaction.Proxy
VeeamDeploySvc
VeeamTransportSvc

Depending on if you're using VMware or HyperV, you can check for:
VMware: Path C:\Program Files (x86)\Veeam\Backup Transport\x64\vddk_*
HyperV: It is implied any HyperV host added to Veeam is potentially an on-host proxy, so simply include your HyperV hosts added to Veeam
