Configuring Automated Ticketing

You can configure Veeam Service Provider Console to send information about triggered alarms to ConnectWise Manage and to create service tickets based on alarm data.

Prerequisites

Before configuring automated ticketing, check the following prerequisites:

Configuring Automated Ticketing

To enable automatic creation of tickets based on Veeam Service Provider Console alarms:

  1. Log in to Veeam Service Provider Console.

For details, see Accessing Veeam Service Provider Console.

  1. At the top right corner of the Veeam Service Provider Console window, click Configuration.
  2. In the configuration menu on the left, click Plugin Library.
  3. Click the ConnectWise Manage plugin tile.
  4. In the menu on the left, click Ticketing.

Veeam Service Provider Console will display a list of all enabled alarms, except alarms for the Cloud Gateway, Internal, Plugin, Site and User objects.

  1. At the top of the page, from the Service Board drop-down list, select a service board on which tickets will be created.
  2. At the top of the page, from the Delay Time drop-down list, select a time period after which the ticket for a triggered alarm must be created.
  3. At the top of the page, from the Warning Ticket Priority and Error Ticket Priority drop-down lists, select priority that must be assigned to tickets created for triggered Warning and Error alarms.

Note:

When you close a ticket in ConnectWise Manage, Veeam Service Provider Console resolves an alarm used to create this ticket. Conversely, when you resolve or acknowledge an alarm in Veeam Service Provider Console, the status of a ticket in ConnectWise Manage changes to Closed. The synchronization period for these actions is equal to the default synchronization interval for ticketing data. For details, see Refreshing Data.

  1. From the list of alarms, select alarms for which you want to create tickets.
  2. At the top of the list, click Enable.
