Performance metrics for Veeam Azure backup appliance
Site24x7's Veeam Azure backup monitoring provides an overview of all the backup policies configured within the Veeam Azure Appliance environment.
The term "Backup Server" is evolving into a more generic designation. Whether data is added via the Veeam Enterprise Manager or the Veeam Azure Appliance, it will be linked under the same Backup Server, differentiated by job types. All data from various modules will be consolidated and displayed under this unified Backup Server view.
This document provides an overview and guide on how to use Site24x7's Veeam Azure Appliance view to monitor your Veeam Backup policy metrics and status checks.
To access the configured Veeam Azure Appliance monitor in Site24x7:
-
Log in to Site24x7 and navigate to Server > Backup Monitoring > Veeam Azure Appliance.
-
Select the desired server to view the metrics, status, and health.
Once the Veeam Azure backup appliance monitor is added, the associated Veeam Azure Backup policies will be automatically integrated into the Backup Monitor.
