Monitoring of Veeam is not reliable
Has anyone successfully monitored Veeam with LM? From what I am seeing out of the box, every single module is unreliable. The scripts run probably 50-60% of the time. Otherwise they just fail with the error: Veeam Powershell snap-in was loaded from an incorrect location. This results in numerous "No data " responses. Which leads to issues with alerts not clearing when they should, or not opening when they should. Which cascades into our ticketing system to cause further confusion. Powershell works fine locally on any of the servers in question, scripts that utilize Veeam's powershell module that I push from our management tool also work fine. It just seems to be LogicMonitor that has issues with reliability. In these instances, the collector is installed directly on the Veeam host. Veeam forums indicate this may be due to the snap-in installation being corrupted, however I have manually verified it is all correct on a handful of servers and the issue persists. Plus it works locally and on my pushed scripts from a different tool. We are monitoring 44 Veeam servers (all the latest version) and all of them seem to have this reliability issue. Making it hard to believe that the installation could be goofed on every single one of them. All LM supplied default scripts utilize: Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue I tested by manually running the script from a debug window, but changing from Add-PSSnapin to using Import-Module and referencing the Veeam dll file, yet the intermittent "incorrect location" error persists. Another test, I removed all references to Add-PSSnapin and suprisingly, it still works about 50% of the time. By all findings, I only get this error when running collection scripts from LogicMonitor. Have yet to see it locally. Anybody ese noticing the same thing?Solved133Views0likes1Comment
