Performance metrics for Veeam Azure backup appliance

Site24x7's Veeam Azure backup monitoring provides an overview of all the backup policies configured within the Veeam Azure Appliance environment.

The term "Backup Server" is evolving into a more generic designation. Whether data is added via the Veeam Enterprise Manager or the Veeam Azure Appliance, it will be linked under the same Backup Server, differentiated by job types. All data from various modules will be consolidated and displayed under this unified Backup Server view.

This document provides an overview and guide on how to use Site24x7's Veeam Azure Appliance view to monitor your Veeam Backup policy metrics and status checks.

To access the configured Veeam Azure Appliance monitor in Site24x7:

  1. Log in to Site24x7 and navigate to Server > Backup Monitoring > Veeam Azure Appliance.

  2. Select the desired server to view the metrics, status, and health.

Note

Once the Veeam Azure backup appliance monitor is added, the associated Veeam Azure Backup policies will be automatically integrated into the Backup Monitor.

Monitor Overview 

The Monitor Overview tab gives an overview of the backup server's health and backup policy performances:

Metrics Description
Availability Displays the uptime percentage.
Backup Server Displays the number of backup servers being tracked.
Sessions with Errors Displays the number of sessions that encountered errors during execution.
Successful Sessions Runs Displays the number of successful backup sessions completed.
Sessions with Warnings Displays the number of sessions that are executed but triggered warnings.
Downtimes Displays recorded monitor downtime (if any).
Successful Sessions Runs Displays a graph of timeline view for successful backup policy sessions.
Sessions with Warnings Displays a graph of warnings in backup operations.
Backup Policy Session Summary Displays the data of backup policy sessions.

A regular check with Monitor Overview helps to catch anomalies early. Use Incident Chat (top right) to collaborate with your internal team directly from the dashboard.

Backup Jobs 

Here, the Veeam Azure Appliance's policy details are added under the Backup server named as the host name of Azure Appliance. By selecting the server, you can access detailed information about the backup policies currently running on that server.

The backup jobs corresponds to the Veeam Azure Appliance's policy running in the cloud, while the "Platform" and "Job Type" attributes help distinguish it from other backup jobs added through the other Backup monitors. Backup Jobs provides information about individual jobs:

Field name Description
Name Backup policy name.
Platform The environment used to run the server (e.g., Azure).
Job Type Displays the type of backup policy.
Last Run Timestamp of the last executed job.
Result Outcome of the last job (e.g., Success, Error).
Next Run Time scheduled for the next job execution.
Incident Duration Time taken by the current/last failure (if any).
Retention Policy Displays retention configuration (if applicable).
Action Option to edit monitoring thresholds for each job.

  2. Select the monitor name you want to edit.
