Veeam Jobs Zabbix monitoring throught REST API

[victorsina]

Hi all

I post this here because Im trying to configure the Veeam backup Replication 11.0.0.837 jobs monitoring ussing Zabbix 6.4.4

I use the following template

https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/rep ... ease%2F6.4

Y complete the macros as a show.

{$VEEAM.API.URL}. = https://192.168.0.8:9419
{$VEEAM.PASSWORD}. = the password
{$VEEAM.USER} = user with reader role

The REST API opens the SWAGGER as expected via 9419 tcpip port, but when I try to configure the zabbix template I saw this in the logs

Login failed with status code 400: {"errorCode":"NotImplemented","message":"Unsupp ort ed RESTAPI version. The following versions are supported: v1.0-rev1.","resourceId":null}.

I can access the infrastructure from a zabbix server running in a remote location. The infrastructure is accesibe through a Zabbix Proxy installed into a docker container.
I not have any clue to workaround this.
Any help will be apreciated.

Regards
Victor

Hi Victor

First, please let me say you are using a Veeam version which has known security vulnerabilities.
https://www.veeam.com/kb4288 (CVSS v3 score: 9.8 )
https://www.veeam.com/kb4424 (CVSS v3 score: 7.5 )

I strongly recommend to update to the latest V11a build (11.0.1.1261 P20230227) or V12 build (12.0.0.1420 P20230718):
https://www.veeam.com/kb2680

Back to the issue you see.
In the Zabbix template, I can see it tries to access vbr-rest-v1-rev2. Which is not available in V11 (11.0.0.837). Therefore you get the error message "Unsupported RESTAPI version. The following versions are supported: v1.0-rev1.".

Please update to the recommended V11a build and try the Zabbix Template again. In V11a, vbr-rest-v1-rev2 is available and supported.

Best,
Fabian

Thanks for your time and help.
I upgrade the veeam server to 12.0.0.1420 and the zabbix template works as expected.
Only one minimal issue, only works for administrator user id, not for user id with read-only privileges, I will analize that issue.

Thanks again, all backups jobs are monitored now.

Hi Victor,

Can you please help in sharing details of steps used for Zabbix 6.4.4 with Veeam 12.1

API URL to be used ?
https://<HOSTNAME>:9419/swagger/ui/index.html

Also mentioned username & password as part of using Veeam B&R Monitoring via HTTP Rest API template from Zabbix Portal.
Also granted monitor user with Admin rights still gets Error - Login failed with Error : 404.

Can you please guide for same.

Thanks
Harnik

Hello Harnik

The API URL is wrong. Don‘t provide the link to the swagger subpage.
Please follow the description/examples on the template page:
https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/veeam

Sample: https://localhost:9419/

For any technical errors, Zabbix is not managed by Veeam. I recommend to reach out to Zabbix support: https://support.zabbix.com/

Best,
Fabian
