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. |
Immutability state | An alarm is triggered if immutability is disabled for repositories or repository extents. |

Rule Type | Description |
|---|---|
CDP Proxy Cache Usage | An alarm is triggered if the CDP cache usage is above the specified threshold. |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some Veeam Backup & Replication event is generated for the proxy 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Out-of-date state | An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the proxy server are out of date. |
Power or connection state changes | An alarm is triggered if the state of proxy server is equal or not equal to the specified value (for example, if connection to the proxy server is lost). |
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Out-of-date state | An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the WAN accelerator server are out of date.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Out-of-date state | An alarm is triggered if Veeam Backup & Replication software components installed on the tape server are out of date.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). |
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). |
