VEEAM B&R COMMUNITY EDITION AND PRTG

[eliel.vaz]

Hello everyone! I work with VEEAM Backup and Replication and use PRTG for monitoring. However, monitoring of VEEAM jobs has never been implemented in PRTG. I'm looking for some community help to set up this monitoring. I'm aware that PRTG has its own sensor for VEEAM, but it's only available for the enterprise version.

Can anyone with experience in both PRTG and VEEAM assist me?

Hi eliel.vaz, welcome to the forums.

I've not worked with PRTG directly, but as I get it their current sensor uses our Enterprise Manager REST API endpoints so indeed that won't work with Community Edition.

I was able to find this relatively quickly and while it's a bit dated it looks like it should work at least on the Veeam side. It uses Powershell instead of the REST API, though I'm not sure how it gets the information into PRTG, but looks like a starting point.

I would start with this and if you have questions on the powershell parts, ask in our Powershell forums and we'll try to assist with the Veeam related elements.

Hi,
as you talk about community edition I need to be honest that this edition will neither allow you to use APIs nor syslog to integrate with PRTG.
you would need to upgrade at least to Foundation to get integrations working.
The only thing you could look into would be powershell-based integration but I don't know if and how that would work in PRTG.
Powershell example can be found in the forum but also here: https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell

Hope that helps.
Thanks
