check_veeam_bkp

This is a Nagios Plugin that checks the last status of last run of all veeam jobs, not including Replication (BackupSync) jobs (which is a continues jobs that for behaving differently). 1) Powershell needs to be installed on the Nagios box. 2) NSClient++ needs to be installed on the windows Veeam server 3) nsclient.ini file editing to enable powershell execution, add and edit this lines (be aware of this last minus [-] sign): ;The NRPE options [/settings/NRPE/server] allow arguments = true port = 5666 ; Undocumented key verify mode = none ; Undocumented key insecure = true ; ENABLE SSL ENCRYPTION - This option controls if SSL should be enabled. ; use ssl = true ; EXTENDED RESPONSE - Send more then 1 return packet to allow response to go beyond payload size (requires modified client if legacy is true this defaults to false). extended response = false ; COMMAND ALLOW NASTY META CHARS - This option determines whether or not the we will allow clients to specify nasty (as in |`&><'"[]{}) characters in arguments. allow nasty characters = false ; The relevant external script to enable [/settings/external scripts] allow arguments = true ; Command timeout - The maximum time in seconds that a command can execute. (if more then this execution will be aborted). NOTICE this only affects external commands not internal ones. ; timeout = 60 ; Load all scripts in a given folder - Load all scripts in a given directory and use them as commands. ; script path = UNKNOWN ; Allow certain potentially dangerous characters in arguments - This option determines whether or not the we will allow clients to specify nasty (as in |`&><'"[]{}) characters in arguments. ; allow nasty characters = false ; Script root folder - Root path where all scripts are contained (You can not upload/download scripts outside this folder). script root = ${scripts} ; A list of templates for wrapped scripts.
