Azure VM Backup status monitoring?

Is it possible to monitor the status of VM backups in Azure using checkmk? Could we use a log file or event log possibly from the VM itself?

Trying to find documentation on how to configure the Azure Recovery Services Vault to see what information this brings back, but I can only see it says to setup a special Azure Agent for it.

Is the recovery services only available in the cloud edition?

if this is written in the log or the event log, then you can use mk_logwatch agent plugin to search for a pattern.

Is it possible to use the regex patterns to ask for something that isn’t?

For example can have a patter that says it will go Critical for anything that IS NOT 0

It totally depends on your regular expression.If you can do a negate there then it should be possible to achieve what you want but I can’t test it.

There’s no negate option here. I’ll just have to try to match on all the possible outcome numbers for critical.
