# Veeam Backup and Replication by HTTP

## Overview

This template is designed to monitor Veeam Backup and Replication.
It works without any external scripts and uses the script item.

***NOTE:*** Since the RESTful API may not be available for some editions, the template will only work with the following editions of Veeam Backup and Replication:

1. Veeam Universal License (VUL) editions:
* Foundation
* Advanced
* Premium

2. Veeam Socket License editions:
* Enterprise Plus Socket  

> See [Veeam Data Platform Feature Comparison](https://www.veeam.com/licensing-pricing.html) for more details.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- Veeam Backup and Replication, version 11.0

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

1. Create a user to monitor the service or use an existing read-only account.
> See [Veeam Help Center](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vbr_rest/reference/vbr-rest-v1-rev2.html?ver=110#tag/Login/operation/CreateToken!path=grant_type&t=request) for more details. 
2. Link the template to a host.
3. Configure the following macros: `{$VEEAM.API.URL}`, `{$VEEAM.USER}`, and `{$VEEAM.PASSWORD}`.
