Veeam & DataDog

[marius402]

Hi Every1,

Not specifically PowerShell related

Has anyone done integration with VBR to DataDog? My customer wants to see if it is possible to detect if Veeam had a failure and create a service ticket for this to assign and follow through

I don't know how DataDog works, but would appreciate any guidance or advice that could assist my customer

Regards

Marius

Hi @marius402,

I've never used Datadog before but looks like it just accepts REST calls as an input and they have some example scripts on sending metrics via Powershell. I suppose they could check the backup jobs with Veeam Powershell or Veeam RestAPI and send the data off: https://docs.datadoghq.com/metrics/cust ... ubmission/

I think it might be a better question to DataDog support on how to format the output of jobs to be entered into Datadog, but as best I can tell once you understand how DataDog wants the input, it's just a matter of getting the desired output from Veeam via REST or Powershell, format it for Datadog input, and send a PUT request to Datadog with the metric.

Veeam B&R of course generates Events in Windows which you can see in Event Viewer. The Datadog Agent installed in the B&R Server can be configured to send all the Veeam Events to the Datadog platform. Then these events can be filtered on Datadog and used in Datadog Monitors to generate alerts. This is how I have implemented it and works like a charm. No need of any kind of scripting.
