Reporting for management

[eric_b]

I've been asked to "provide metrics on Veeam jobs" for my grandboss. No real guidance about what he's actually looking for, but there is a canned reporting page that presents the data I want: HISTORY>Jobs>Replication

The trouble is, the data isn't "selectable" in summary like it's presented. You can right-click any of the jobs listed, and display Statistics or Report, but that is specific to that job. I'd like a summary of all the jobs, historically, with success or failure. I actually want to produce a report that looks exactly like what Veeam shows us by default. I'm hoping there's a way to generate it in the Veeam PowerShell toolkit. Can't find anything that's helpful. There's some info about reporting, but it all seems to revolve around Veeam products that we don't have - I only have the bare bones Veeam Backup & Replication.

Anyone had any success either exporting or otherwise creating reporting?

Do you have Veeam ONE deployed? If so, you can use one of reports it provides.

Otherwise, PowerShell is your option. You can start with reviewing PowerShell subforum, there are plenty of report examples (like this one, for instance).

Thanks.

I don't think I have Veeam One, unless it's buried in Veeam Backup & Replication. I'll check out the link you included - thanks.

the linked report is cool, but doesn't give me the output I need. That's reporting on backup jobs, but I need something oriented toward replication jobs.

If you take a closer look at author's page, you'll notice that the .ps1 script, that he gives a link to, contains a separate section for replica jobs:

Code: Select all

<...>
# Show Replication Session Summary
$showSummaryRp = $false
# Show Replication Job Status
$showJobsRp = $false
# Show detailed information for Replication Jobs/Sessions (Avg Speed, Total(GB), Processed(GB), Read(GB), Transferred(GB), Dedupe, Compression)
$showDetailedRp = $true
# Show all Replication Sessions within time frame ($reportMode)
$showAllSessRp = $false
<...>

Alternatively, you can use built-in email reports and concatenate them if needed.

Thanks

Yep. That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I should have done a little more exploring in that script.

Mission accomplished? I hope so. We'll see.

unfortunately it wont run getting the error Unable to connect to VBR server - yourVBRserver. The version of the Veeam server is 9.5.0.1536. Please advise
