Advanced Configuration Example

The monitoring criteria for this configuration are:

• 2 vCenter Servers must be connected.
• For vCenter Server №1 (Production systems):
  • All clusters, hosts and VMs must be monitored.
  • High-availability data collection backend is a requirement.
• For vCenter Server №2 (Development/Test systems):
  • All clusters and hosts must be monitored.
  • Virtual Machines must not be monitored.
  • High-availability data collection backend is not required.
  • Collection interval of 10 minutes is sufficient.

This example will illustrate a more advanced Veeam back-end configuration, requiring the use of multiple Collectors, monitoring groups, and customizing collection settings.

This example assumes that the following sections in the Installation Guide have been followed:

• Single-server installation (to provision the VE Service, web UI and one Collector)
• Collector-only installation (repeated twice, to provision 2 additional Collector servers)
