- Foundation
- Advanced
- Premium
- Veeam Socket License editions:
- Enterprise Socket

See Veeam Data Platform Feature Comparison for more details.
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- Veeam Backup and Replication, version 11.0
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.
- Create a user to monitor the service, or use an existing read-only account.
Similarly to the user authentication in the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web UI,
the client authentication in the REST API dictates which operations a client is allowed to perform when working with the REST API.
That is, if the client is authenticated using an account that does not have enough permissions to perform some actions, it will not be able to execute them.
You can also obtain the collected jobs if you are logged in under an account having only
Portal Administrator
role.
See Veeam Help Center for more details.
- Link the template to a host.
- Configure the following macros:
{$VEEAM.MANAGER.API.URL}
,{$VEEAM.MANAGER.USER}
,{$VEEAM.MANAGER.PASSWORD}
.
