Alarm Rules for Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam ONE offers the following types of alarm rules for Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure objects:

Enterprise Manager

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the Enterprise Manager is lost).

Rule Type	Description
Backup Copy RPO	An alarm is triggered if no VM restore points were created during the specified period.
Incremental backup size	An alarm is triggered if size of one or more increments has exceeded the specified threshold.
Disabled job	An alarm is triggered if the time during which a job was disabled has exceeded the specified threshold.
Job/Policy status	An alarm is triggered if the job or policy status is equal or not equal to the specified value.
Nutanix AHV cluster connection failure	An alarm is triggered if the backup server fails to connect the Nutanix AHV cluster.
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the backup server.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Job duration exceeded the allowed time period	An alarm is triggered if duration of a backup or replication job exceeds a threshold duration value (specified in minutes).
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of Veeam Backup server is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the backup server is lost).

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the repository.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Out-of-date state	An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the repository server are out of date.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of the backup repository is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the repository is lost).
Repository server is running out of free space	An alarm is triggered if free space on the repository is above or below the specified threshold value. You can select to specify the free space threshold as an absolute value or a relative value. For example, an alarm is triggered if the storage space is below 10 GB or 15% of total space.

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the backup proxy.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Out-of-date state	An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the proxy server are out of date.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of backup proxy is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the proxy server is lost).

WAN Accelerator

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the WAN accelerator.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Out-of-date state	An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the WAN accelerator server are out of date.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of the WAN accelerator is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the WAN accelerator is lost).

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the tape server.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Out-of-date state	An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the tape server are out of date.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of the backup repository is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the server is lost).

Cloud Repository

Rule Type	Description
Cloud repository lease expiration	An alarm is triggered if cloud repository lease time will expire in the specified number of days.
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the cloud repository.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Number of VMs stored in repository	An alarm is triggered if the number of VMs stored in the backup repository has exceeded the specified threshold.
Repository server is running out of free space	An alarm is triggered if free space on the repository is above or below the specified threshold value. You can select to specify the free space threshold as an absolute value (for example, if the storage space should not fall below 10 GB) or a relative value (for example, if the free space should not fall below 15% of total space).

Rule Type	Description
Event-based rule	An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the cloud gateway.
Existing alarm	An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed.
Out-of-date state	An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the cloud gateway server are out of date.
Power or connection state changes	An alarm is triggered if the state of the backup repository is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the cloud gateway is lost).
