# Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager by HTTP

## Overview

It works without any external scripts and uses the script item. 

***NOTE:*** Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager REST 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 Socket
* 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

> See [Zabbix template operation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box/http) for basic instructions.

1. Create a user to monitor the service, or use an existing read-only account.
  Similarly to the user authentication in the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web UI, 
  the client authentication in the REST API dictates which operations a client is allowed to perform when working with the REST API.
  That is, if the client is authenticated using an account that does not have enough permissions to perform some actions, it will not be able to execute them.
  You can also obtain the collected jobs if you are logged in under an account having only `Portal Administrator` role.

2. Link the template to a host.
3. Configure the following macros: `{$VEEAM.MANAGER.API.URL}`, `{$VEEAM.MANAGER.USER}`, `{$VEEAM.MANAGER.PASSWORD}`.
