check_mk.user.yml veeam plugin settings

 >> under section plugins, set enabled to yes and define the pattern to match "veeam_backup_status.ps1". Don't forget to set async to yes and the cache age to for example 3600, to execute the script only once an hour.



-------------

file ... check_mk.user.yml :



# $CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH$  -> is ProgramData/checkmk/agent/plugins

# $BUILTIN_PLUGINS_PATH$ -> is Program Files(x86)/checkmk/service/plugins



plugins:

    enabled: yes

    execution:

        - pattern: $CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH$\veeam_backup_status.ps1

          async: yes

          timeout: 120

          cache_age: 300

          retry_count: 2







    # enabled: yes



    # max_wait: 60 # max timeout for every sync plugin. Agen will gather plugins data no more than max_wait time.

                 # this is useful to terminate badly written or hanging plugins   





    # async_start: yes # start plugins asynchronous, this is default



    # folders are scanned left -> right, order is important

    # all files from folders are gathered and verified, duplicated files will be removed

    # folders: ['$CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH$', '$BUILTIN_PLUGINS_PATH$' ]       # ProgramData/checkmk/agent/plugins & Program Files x86/checkmk/service/plugins



    _execution:

        # *********************************************************************************************

        # PATTERNS:

        # patterns 1. Absolute path: 'c:\Windows\*.exe' or '$CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH$\win_license.bat'

        #          2. Only Filename: 'mk_*.exe' or win_license.bat

        #             IMPORTANT: if you use relative path, then Agent takes only filename

        #                        'win_license.bat' and 'include\win_license.bat' are the same    

        #

        # PRIORITY:

        # Most important is top-most pattern:

useful hint!!

make sure that the yaml file check_mk.user.yml  is still valid, after changing something within the file!

>> use a validator for test

>> https://www.computer2know.de/yaml-file-syntax-validator:::625.html



to test if the cached settings in the checkmk config file were set correctly, check the output of the checkmk client (telnet <ip> 6555),

and look for the <<<veeam_.... >>> line >> the line should contain a "cached" information, like the sample below:



<<<veeam_tapejobs:sep(124):cached(1643120016,7200)>>>

JobName|JobID|LastResult|LastState

Backup-to-Tape-weekly|a969d385-f322-4c48-83d1-0343257fdf3341|Success|Stopped
