Problem overview.
The challenge this resource is designed to solve.
Backups are critical, but failures often go unnoticed until it’s too late. This monitor policy ensures Veeam services are always running and that backups complete successfully, preventing potential data loss and downtime.
About this resource.
What it does and how it fits into your workflow.
This monitoring policy applies to all devices tagged with “Veeam,” ensuring comprehensive oversight. It continuously checks the Veeam service status, automatically restarting it if it stops. Additionally, it tracks all backup jobs within the last 24 hours, triggering an alert if any failures occur. Combined with Level’s automation capabilities, it can also deploy necessary Veeam components to keep your backup infrastructure in top shape.
