Checking SureBackup Veeam Jobs

[Chris47 (Christophe-Alexandros Sgeuin)]

We are using CheckMK on our Backup Servers. All Jobs are getting monitored in our CheckMK Server except of our SureBackup Job. The job to Test a full restore of a view virtual machines.
Is there any chance to see these jobs also as a check?

Hi @Chris47,

and welcome to the Checkmk forum!

Unfortunately, it’s something that’s not supported out of the box. I don’t know the reason behind it, but this type of Backup is not picked up by the Checkmk Check plugin.

I have a customer that is using the Sure Backup Feature in Veeam heavily and modified the existing Checkmk Check for it and just added the Sure Backup Status Output to be picked up by the default Checkmk Checks.

I just checked, but I don’t have the modified script any more on my machine.

You can use the cmdlet Get-VBRSureBackupJob to get all information about the Sure Backup Jobs. After that, you simply just have to convert it to the right format that Checkmk can understand it.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards
Norm

Thank You @Norm !

There is my script:

try {
    $GetSureBackupJobs = Get-VBRSureBackupJob

    foreach ($SureBackupJob in $GetSureBackupJobs) {
        $SureBackupLastRun = $SureBackupJob.LastRun | Get-Date -Format "dd.MM.yyyy HH\:mm\:ss"
        $SureBackupLastResult = $SureBackupJob.LastResult
        $SureBackupNextRun = $SureBackupJob.NextRun | Get-Date -Format "dd.MM.yyyy HH\:mm\:ss"
        $SureBackupLastState = $SureBackupJob.LastState
        $SureBackupIsEnabled = $SureBackupJob.IsEnabled
        $SureBackupName = $SureBackupJob.Name -replace "\'","_" -replace " ","_"
        $SureBackupType = "SureBackup"

        # Details als eine durch Semikolons getrennte Zeichenkette
        $SureBackupOutput = "Result: $SureBackupLastResult; LastRun: $SureBackupLastRun; JobEnabled: $SureBackupIsEnabled; LastState: $SureBackupLastState; NextRun: $SureBackupNextRun; Type: $SureBackupType"

        # Status bestimmen
        if ($SureBackupLastResult -eq "Success") {
            Write-Host 0 "$SureBackupName" - $SureBackupOutput
        } elseif ($SureBackupLastResult -eq "Warning") {
            Write-Host 1 "$SureBackupName" - $SureBackupOutput
        } elseif ($SureBackupLastResult -eq "None") {
            Write-Host 0 "$SureBackupName" - $SureBackupOutput
        } else {
            Write-Host 2 "$SureBackupName" - $SureBackupOutput
        }
    }
} catch {
    Write-Host 3 "SureBackup" - "No SureBackup Jobs found or an error occurred."
}

Let this script as .ps1 file in this normal path: C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\local

Greetings.
