Veeam Backup Jobs for Zabbix

This repository contains a PowerShell collector and a Zabbix 7.0 template for monitoring Veeam Backup & Replication jobs.

Collector output

Monitor-VeeamJobs.ps1 prints one compressed JSON object by default:

{
  "total": 10,
  "disabled": 1,
  "successful": 7,
  "error": 1,
  "warning": 1,
  "disabled_names": "Disabled job",
  "disabled_excluded_names": "Policy disabled by design",
  "error_names": "Failed job",
  "warning_names": "Warning job",
  "jobs_table": "Name | Enabled | Last run | Next run | Result | Restore points\n...",
  "jobs": [
    {
      "name": "Daily backup",
      "enabled": true,
      "last_run": "2026-07-16 01:00:00",
      "next_run": "2026-07-17 01:00:00",
      "last_result": "Success",
      "last_state": "Stopped",
      "restore_points": 14
    }
  ]
}

Restore point counting is best effort. The script uses Get-VBRBackup and Get-VBRRestorePoint when both cmdlets are available; if Veeam cannot map a job to backups in the current environment, the job remains visible and its restore point count is shown as -.

Zabbix dashboard idea

Create a dashboard named Veeam Jobs for hosts linked to the Veeam Backup Jobs template.

Suggested widgets:

Area	Widget	Items
Top row	Item value	veeam.jobs.total
Top row	Item value	veeam.jobs.successful
Top row	Item value	veeam.jobs.disabled
Top row	Item value	veeam.jobs.error
Top row	Item value	veeam.jobs.warning
Middle	Plain text	veeam.jobs.table
Bottom left	Plain text	veeam.jobs.error.names
Bottom center	Plain text	veeam.jobs.warning.names
Bottom right	Plain text	veeam.jobs.disabled.names

Use a red threshold for veeam.jobs.error, yellow for veeam.jobs.warning, and keep veeam.jobs.disabled aligned with the existing exclusion policy. The template intentionally keeps veeam.jobs.disabled.excluded.names, because some disabled policies are expected.
