Monitor Veeam Enterprise Manager

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager serves as a centralized management platform, functioning as a hub for monitoring and controlling various backup jobs across multiple Veeam backup servers. Using Site24x7's Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager monitoring, you can monitor all your Veeam backup jobs and get notified about job failures, completion status, or any other relevant updates to safeguard your data integrity and prevent loss.

Prerequisites

• The Site24x7 On-Premise Poller must be installed.
• Veeam Enterprise Manager is accessible from the On-Premise Poller server.
• A Veeam Enterprise Manager user account with an Administrator privilege is required.

To verify the accessibility of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager from the On-Premise Poller server, follow the steps provided below:

Using a web browser

Enter the provided sample URL below to send an unauthorized GET HTTP request to the base URL of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager REST API.

URL : https://<Enterprise-Manager>:9398/api/

The server provides links for initiating a new logon session in the response body, as shown below.

<Link Href="https://enterprise04.tech.local:9398/api/sessionMngr/?v=latest" Type="LogonSession" Rel="Create"/>

Using cURL and wget

For unauthorized requests, use -k and --no-check-certificate for cURL and wget.
If you are using a proxy, add the config in cURL and wget.

cURL

curl -k https://<Enterprise-Manager>:9398/api/
-k -> Allow insecure server connections when using SSL

The server provides links for initiating a new logon session in the response body, as shown below.

<Link Href="https://enterprise04.tech.local:9398/api/sessionMngr/?v=latest" Type="LogonSession" Rel="Create"/>

wget

wget --no-check-certificate https://<Enterprise-Manager>:9398/api/
--no-check-certificate -> don't validate the server's certificate

Open the index.html file or locate the file downloaded using wget. Then, check the file's contents as follows:
