monitoring Veeam V13 appliance via VeeamOne.
Hi,
We have set up an out the box install of Veeam One on Windows server 2025.
We have dialed it our vcentre instance and this is working as expected using an @vsphere.local logon to act as a service account.
We are now trying to add the Veeam 13 backup appliance itself to the monitoring.
so we go VeeamOne>Data source>Add server>Veeam Back & Replication
so we add in the DNS name which in our case is veeamsa.<domain> and select it as a "Veeam Backup & Replication server" >Next
We then go to the page with the credentials, so I add a credential of "veeamadmin" and the password and then click >Next
"Failed to add Veeam Backup & Replication server. Cannot install Veeam Analytics service. Submit a request to add new infrastructure components in the Veeam Host Management Console. For more details read the following
user guide page"
There was no MFA request or anything - which I thought was strange as you can't access the Veeam server without SSO/MFA.
So my question is how do we dial in a Veeam 13 "Veeam Backup & Replication" appliance into the monitoring?
Is that not an option at this stage?
There are a couple of other limitations of VeeamOne as well that we've come across.
- It appears the SSO is tightly coupled to the AD SSO - We need full SAML support like we have within Vcentre and now Veeam Server appliance though as we don't want this server to be directly coupled to an AD that has a trust relationship to the primary AD (as our security team will not allow this). I see there has already been some discussion on this but its critical for large organisations to use VeeamOne effectively and to be able to control its access.
- We really like the appliance model of B&R v13 - what are the timelines of VeeamOne having the same type of treatment or for VeeamOne to be refactored to run under Linux, or do the SSRS dependencies prevent this from being an option? We'd really like to eliminate Windows dependencies from our management tools if possible.
Nice work on the V13 VeeamOne platform - its certainly a step int he right direction to be able to use Postgres rather SQL Server Express!
thanks again.

Have the exact same message "Cannot install Veeam Analytics service" with a clean ONE V13 install and a clean install of the V13 VSA.

Re: monitoring Veeam V13 appliance via VeeamOne.
Hi,
Our Veeam Software Appliance is a major change compared to previous deployments on Windows.
Therefore, I recommend reviewing our help center before adding the backup server.
Please ensure you enable "Remote Data Collection" in the Host Management Web UI before adding the Veeam Software Appliance to Veeam ONE v13.
Best regards,
Fabian

Re: monitoring Veeam V13 appliance via VeeamOne.
We have added that hyperlink on that section so you could check what it should be done before adding to Veeam ONE, as Veeam Software Appliance is hardened and the operation of installing any component, like Veeam ONE Analytics Service needs to be reviewed by the Security Officer Role, etc. There are different ways to install Veeam Analytics Service, for example, you can download the offline bundle as well and install it manually on the VSA (it requires in any case you enable this on VSA Host Management)ashleyw wrote: ↑Oct 06, 2025 5:09 am We are now trying to add the Veeam 13 backup appliance itself to the monitoring.

100% supported and working without any issue once DNS is in order, and you follow those required steps as VSA is more secure.

- We do not support SSO today, only Windows groups that you can add your different AD groups, etc. Also vSphere/VMware Cloud Director permissions, more information here.
- We cannot confirm at the moment. We also like Veeam Software Appliance approach, we will share more details as soon as we have them.
We have not replaced SQL Express with PostgreSQL, we added PostgreSQL to serve heavy historical reports faster from it, full move to PostgreSQL might come in the future as well.
Thank you for the feedback!

VeeamOne v13 is looking great right now - the compliance reports should help me a lot.
We look forward to the changes and I'll continue to give more feedback on this forum as I work through the functionality.
cheers

Re: monitoring Veeam V13 appliance via VeeamOne.
Thank you Ashley,
We are very keen to receive it, explore some reports, filter them, group, move columns, and once finished with a few of them, combine them using report builder for a final customization.
Also, Alarms are pretty good indeed, with ServiceNow integration, worth the check.
Thank you!
