VeeamONE monitoring Nimble Storage Snapshots

[ChrisGundry]

Hi.
As Veeam integrates with Nimble storage, we were wondering if there was any way for Veeam to monitor our Nimble arrays for things like manual snapshots, age etc? If not, it would be nice if this was considered as a feature request.

We find that when engineers expand a volume, it creates a manual Nimble snapshot, which if the engineer doesn't remember to remove it then it stays there forever. Likewise if someone creates a manual snapshot for maintenance or something then forgets to remove it, it will remain forever.

At the moment I am periodically running a PowerShell script to find these snapshots and alert on them, but it would be great for us if VeeamONE alerted us to their presence in the same way it does for VMware snapshots that are of x age.

Thanks!

Currently this is indeed not possible with VeeamOne so the powershell script is still the way to go right now (unless Nimble has a tool for it - which I am not aware of).

Thanks for the quick reply. Can we get this reviewed as a feature request, for VeeamONE to integrate more with Nimble and provide monitoring of the Nimble?

Agreed, this would be really helpful to manage and be alerted to Nimble snapshots as well as VMWare snapshots in the same interface.

Thanks.
