AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR Report

[jcolonfzenpr]

I have seen this delay more in the tape medium "Get-VBRTapeMedium" but only if you have a large amount of tapes.

I have also noticed it when filtering the content by library or mediapool.

Code: Select all

Get-VBRTapeMedium -MediaPool $mediaID

Hello,

I have released version 0.3.0 to Powershell Galley to make the installation process easier.

As always any bugs or errors you find please use the github issue module to report them.

Best regards,

https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... .Veeam.VBR

Hello,

For years now I have done a lot of VEAAM implementations and so I have been working on a report for Veeam Backup & Replication that uses the Veeam 11 Powershell modules. The report uses the AsBuiltReport project framework created by "Tim Carman" @tpcarman. The report has support for checking the health status of various components within VEEAM and the AsBuiltReport framework also provides the ability to configure the report to be sent via email. By no means is this report intended to compete with any Veeam tool, I just wanted to develop a free and open source implementation report.

The report is in an initial state but I would like to know if you have any ideas or if anyone would like to contribute to the project.

Here are the links and a sample report.

Project Page:

Ideas or suggestions are welcome!

Happy Holidays!

Nice report, it would be great if it could include some configuration about (copy/)jobs and included VMs !

[Zew]

Do I have to check the source github for updates, or will you post here when the community edition gets support?

Thank you again for this, really amazing stuff.

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hello,

Here is a preview of version 0.4.0 which now includes information about the configuration of VMware and Hyper-V backup jobs. I still need to extend the information about the other types of backup jobs (Tape, SureBackup, etc...) but everything will be done one day at a time...

Hi Jonathan !

I just updated to the latest version(0.5.5), on a server that used to run 0.5.4.
When I try to run it now, i'm getting a failure:

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hello,

It seems to be a bug when more than one version of the report are installed. The issue was reported on github and I hope it will be fixed in v0.6.0:

https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... /issues/70

You can fix it by removing the 0.5.4 version

Code: Select all

uninstall-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR -RequiredVersion 0.5.4

Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.

[jcolonfzenpr]

Buenos días,

Could you validate if changing the PSDefaultAuthentication option to Negotiate resolves the issue you are reporting?
https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... BR#options



To change this value it is required to generate a configuration file using the New-AsBuiltReportConfig cmdlet.
https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... figuration

After you have the configuration file do not forget to use the -ReportConfigFilePath option to specify the location of the file when using the New-AsBuiltReport cmdlet.

Example:
New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target veeam-vbr.pharmax.local -Username 'Domain\veeam_admin' -Password 'P@ssw0rd' -Format Text,Html,Word -OutputFolderPath 'C:\Users\Jon\Documents' -ReportConfigFilePath 'C:\Users\Jon\AsBuiltReport\AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR.json'

Hope this helps!

Hello all,
I am trying to run this same script now and getting the same issues. I tried to access that like for the detailed steps, but seems like it doesn't exist anymore.

Hello,

I recommend you to delete the file you downloaded and install it through PowershellGallery.

Code: Select all

Install-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR 

You can also follow the link below to perform the automatic installation which is easier to do.

https://techmyth.info/posts/homelab-vee ... iltreport/

Is community edition supported yet?

[jcolonfzenpr]

Unfortunately I do not have an environment that has the community version for testing. If you are interested you can test with the most recent version of the report and let us know the results.

Thanks a lot.

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hi,

I don't think there is any way to be able to connect to a remote proxy in a workgroup environment in a secure way. The limitation is more on the powershell side than in the AsBuiltReport code.

There is an unsafe way to achieve the objective but I do not recommend it.

https://woshub.com/using-psremoting-win ... workgroup/

In the next version of the report I will be adding code to validate if backup server is in workgroup mode and disable the collection of proxy server hardware inventory.

I'm more interested in these error messages:

[volkanvk]

can i schedule this on the windows task scheduler with credentials inside them and not via the prompt or cred variable?

[volkanvk]

Great Script!

is there a way do disable some regions in the report, like the VMware Backup Jobs Configuration?

[jcolonfzenpr]

You can set the InfoLevel to 1 for that section in the AsBuiltreport.Veeam.VBR.json file.

https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... infolevel




To generate the AsBuiltreport.Veeam.VBR.json file follow the documentation.
https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... figuration

Hope this helps.

[jcolonfzenpr]

can i schedule this on the windows task scheduler with credentials inside them and not via the prompt or cred variable?

You can use the Username and Password option to set it inside the schedule task arguments:

-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target veeam-vbr.pharmax.local -AsBuiltConfigFilePath C:\AsBuiltReport\AsBuiltReport.json -OutputFolderPath C:\Users\jocolon\AsBuiltReport\ -Username 'domian\User' -Password 'p@ssw0rd' -Format HTML -ReportConfigFilePath C:\AsBuiltReport\AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR.json -EnableHealthCheck -Timestamp"



Warning:
However, this process of storing credentials within task properties may represent a security risk.

[Zulien]

Hello,

First thanks a lot for this great work!
With security enhancements of VBR, you can now use a non-admin account of the Windows server that can be designated as an Admin account in Veeam B&R.
Of course using this account doesn't allow ABR to gather info about the Windows server.
So it would be nice to be able to enter both windows admin account and VBR admin account when they are different.

Best
Z

[jcolonfzenpr]

Can you make a formal change request in github?

https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuil ... VBR/issues

Thanks.

[jcolonfzenpr]

I recently made the decision to not apply to the Veeam Vanguard program which was one of the main reasons for developing and maintaining this project. For this reason I will not be maintaining or updating this report. At this time until someone is identified to maintain the project, this report will be frozen in terms of new capabilities.

Hello,

For years now I have done a lot of VEAAM implementations and so I have been working on a report for Veeam Backup & Replication that uses the Veeam 11 Powershell modules. The report uses the AsBuiltReport project framework created by "Tim Carman" @tpcarman. The report has support for checking the health status of various components within VEEAM and the AsBuiltReport framework also provides the ability to configure the report to be sent via email. By no means is this report intended to compete with any Veeam tool, I just wanted to develop a free and open source implementation report.

The report is in an initial state but I would like to know if you have any ideas or if anyone would like to contribute to the project.

Here are the links and a sample report.

Project Page:
