Veeam ONE

Product Overview

Veeam ONE provides monitoring and reporting for all Veeam Backup & Replication servers as well as virtualized infrastructure – VMware vSphere (including VMware Cloud Director) and Microsoft Hyper-V. This enables capacity planning, alerting, heatmaps, data protection insights, and more.

For Infrastructure as a Service environments, Veeam ONE can provide multi-tenancy for reporting and dashboards with RBAC. For Veeam Cloud Connect environments, it provides an additional subset of reports and monitoring insights.

For more information about configuring monitoring and reporting, see the Veeam Help Center.

Licensing

Veeam ONE is licensed per Monitored Workload. Please note that Veeam ONE enables data collection and reporting automatically for all workloads protected by the Veeam Backup & Replication servers it is connected to.

In case only virtual infrastructure is being monitored (no backup servers are added to the Veeam ONE server), you can granularly control the license consumption using inclusion and exclusion rules for monitored VMs. For more information, see the Veeam ONE Deployment Guide.

The license file can be generated and assigned to the Veeam ONE installation using VCSP Pulse plug-in for Veeam Service Provider Console. Alternatively, a new license file can be generated on the VCSP Pulse Portal by adding the Monitored Workload workload type in the Manage Licenses > Request New License > Veeam ONE section.

Each workload under protection consumes the license at a rate in alignment with the VCSP Rental Point Per Unit (PPU).

Workload Type	Point Per Unit (PPU)
Monitored Workload	2 points
Microsoft 365 (10 users pack)	Free
Veeam Cloud Connect Workloads	Free

Note

For Veeam ONE, the rental program includes free license usage for the following workloads:

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (monitoring/reporting). Consider that when you generate the license, the cost of the Microsoft 365 (10 users pack) license will be displayed as 2 PPU. When Veeam ONE generates the monthly license usage report, it automatically recalculates the cost of the license to 0 PPU.
Veeam Cloud Connect (monitoring/reporting). Consider that performance monitoring and alerting displays jobs for Veeam Cloud Connect backup servers only including their latest state and performance statistics.

Usage Reporting

A new license usage report is generated on the first day of each month. It includes the number of monitored workloads for the past month. Usage for these workloads can be tracked using the following counter names:

Virtual Machines
Cloud Instances
Workstation Agents
Server Agents
File Shares
Microsoft 365 (10 users pack)

The overall usage is submitted through the following counters: Monitored Workload and Microsoft 365 (10 users pack).

The primary and recommended method to collect usage reporting data across IaaS as well as tenants’ Veeam ONE installations is Veeam Service Provider Console, an automated and free tool for license management and reporting. For integration with Veeam ONE use a dedicated plug-in for Veeam Service Provider Console. License usage will appear in the monthly License Usage Report.

Alternatively, license usage can be obtained by one of the following ways:

Veeam Service Provider Console REST API

Then, the overall usage must be submitted through VCSP Pulse Portal.
