Powershell - Veeam Job Entime Inconsistent value

[Bureau205]

Hello,

In a supervision context, I work on scripts to be alerted when jobs are running for too long.

I make the difference between the start time of the last running job and the current time to get a value in hours, and if this one is higher than X, the check goes to critical.

However, the value that comes out when I run the command "Get-VBRSession -Job $JobCheck -Last" (where $Jobcheck = Get-VBRJob -Name $args[0]) seems to be wrong.

I let you observe the attached screenshot to see the problem.

Am I doing the wrong commands to get the information I want?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Bureau205,

I couldn't reproduce in Lab with some simple code:

$Jobs = Get-VBRJob
Foreach($j in $jobs){
$jName = $j.Name
$Sess = Get-VBRSession -Job $j -Last
if($Sess.EndTime -lt $Sess.CreationTime){
$Jname
Write-Host "Start Time = $($Sess.CreationTime)"
Write-Host "End Time = $($Sess.EndTime)"
}
}

This returned clean for me (i.e., no results since nothing met the If condition), and if it was a bug with the Get-VBRSession, I guess I would have expected it to hit on at least one of my jobs, so maybe there is just an issue in the Configuration Database, but it's unclear right now.

Can I ask you to open a case and provide:

1. Copy of the Veeam Configuration Database: https://www.veeam.com/kb1471
2. The job you tested with.
3. Please also provide the Session ID that you tested with in your screenshot (Just do $Sess = Get-VBRSession -Job $JobVariable -Last; $Sess.id)

That should be enough for Support to check what's up with that session entry.
