Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API Monitoring
Last updated - 15 June, 2026
The Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API Monitoring package lets you monitor Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR) with LogicMonitor and gain visibility into the health, performance, and protection status of VBR infrastructure.
This Veeam VBR REST API monitoring package uses the Veeam VBR REST API to collect backup job, session health, repository capacity, proxy health, license, configuration backup, and Security and Compliance Analyzer metrics. The package helps identify failed or stale backup sessions, repository capacity issues, proxy availability problems, license consumption risks, configuration backup gaps, and actionable security compliance findings.
The package monitors the following:
- Backup, backup copy, and replica jobs
- Session health and failures
- Repository and scale-out repository capacity
- Proxy health
- License status and consumption
- Configuration backup protection
- Security and Compliance Analyzer findings
This package is compatible with the following:
- Veeam Backup and Replication 13
- VBR REST API revision
1.3-rev1

Adding Resources into Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API Monitoring
The Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API monitoring package uses the addCategory_Veeam_VBR PropertySource to identify VBR servers and assign the VeeamVBRRestAPI system category. All DataSources in the package apply to resources with this category.
This package uses the VBR REST API only and does not require the legacy PowerShell workflow.
Note: Running both REST API and legacy PowerShell packages can produce duplicate monitoring.
For more information, see Adding Resources.
Set or verify the following properties on the resource or parent group:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
veeam.vbr.user | VBR REST API username |
veeam.vbr.pass | VBR REST API password |
The following optional properties are also supported:
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
veeam.vbr.port | 9419 | REST API port |
veeam.vbr.version | 1.3-rev1 | API revision override |
veeam.vbr.timeout.ms | 30000 | API timeout in milliseconds |
veeam.vbr.page.size | 100 | API page size |
veeam.vbr.jobtypes.exclude | None | Excluded job types |
veeam.vbr.session.lookback.hours | 48 | Session lookback window |
Troubleshooting for Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API Monitoring
The following table outlines common troubleshooting guidance for the Veeam Backup and Replication v13 REST API monitoring package:
| Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Modules do not apply | Verify system.categories includes VeeamVBRRestAPI |
| Authentication fails | Verify veeam.vbr.user and veeam.vbr.pass are configured correctly |
API requests return HTTP 403 | Verify the Veeam account has permission to access the requested endpoint |
| API requests time out | Verify Collector connectivity to https://<vbr-host>:9419 and increase veeam.vbr.timeout.ms if needed |
| Collection fails after changing API version | Remove or correct veeam.vbr.version |
| Job instances are missing | Verify veeam.vbr.jobtypes.exclude is not excluding returned job types |
| Session health appears stale | Increase veeam.vbr.session.lookback.hours to cover the expected backup cadence |
