Veeam Overview Metrics¶
The Veeam overview metrics provide immediate visibility into the Veeam backup infrastructure and activity without requiring you to log in to the VBR interface. ARTESCA retrieves these metrics from the VBR application using the Veeam REST API.
Access the Veeam Metrics¶
The metrics are available on the Overview page of the ARTESCA+ Veeam UI.
Access the Veeam Interfaces¶
You can open the Veeam interfaces directly in a new browser tab from the Overview page of the ARTESCA UI.
To do so, you must have:
A Veeam Backup & Replication deployment running on version 13 or later.
A reachable Veeam host.
Valid Veeam credentials. Refer to Integrate Veeam Information in to the ARTESCA UI to provide the credentials.
Tip
For Virtual Network Computing (VNC) or Remote Desktop access to the Veeam Virtual Machine as an alternative, refer to Managing the Veeam Virtual Machine.
Open Veeam Console¶
The Open Veeam Console button opens the Veeam Backup & Replication web console in a new browser tab. From this console, you manage backup and replication jobs, run restores, and configure data retention and immutability on your ARTESCA repositories.
Open Veeam Host Management¶
The Open Veeam Host Management button opens the host-management web interface in a new browser tab, used to administer the underlying Veeam Software Appliance.
Monitoring Components¶
VBR Activity¶
The VBR Activity metrics display the number of backup jobs currently running on the VBR application.
Backup Jobs¶
The Backup Jobs chart shows the most recent status (success, warning, failed) recorded each day for each job over the last 7 days.
Backup jobs are automated tasks that copy and store your data to a backup location on a defined schedule. These jobs are managed by Veeam and store your data in ARTESCA’s object storage.
Metrics |
Description |
|---|---|
Success |
The backup job completed without errors. |
Warning |
The backup job completed but encountered non-critical issues. |
Failed |
The backup job did not complete successfully. |
Backup Overview¶
The Backup overview metrics provide insights into the overall state of your backup infrastructure managed by the VBR application.
Metrics |
Description |
|---|---|
Backed-up objects |
Total number of virtual infrastructure objects included in backups sourced from VBR applications. This count is not deduplicated. A single object can appear multiple times if protected by multiple separate backup jobs. |
Protected data (original size) |
Total original volume of data from all protected workloads across all platforms. This metric is measured before any data reduction techniques (deduplication or compression) are applied. |
Stored backups (all repositories usage) |
Total storage space consumed by all backup files across all repositories configured within the VBR application. This value represents the actual size of the backup files after data reduction techniques (deduplication and compression) have been applied. |
