Learn how to view warnings from the Veeam Backup & Replication application in Bocada Cloud

Veeam B&R Warnings on the Job Activity Report

Once you have set up a connection to one or more of your Veeam B&R backup systems and data is being collected by Bocada Cloud, you’ll see it displayed in the Dashboard and reports.

Veeam warnings were implemented in the Job Activity report which details all backup job activity for all connections, and that report is highly configurable.

To view Veeam warnings:

1. Go to the Job Activity report (accessible from the Report Library or from the link on the left navigation menu under Standard reports).
2. The default Job Activity report displays a variety of data columns, however there are hidden ones you can enable to view. Warnings is one of these hidden columns.
3. To enable the new data columns, click the three dots on any data column header and select “Columns”
4. Scroll down and check the box next to “Warnings” and “Last Warning Message” > then click “Apply”
   
5. The new data columns will appear in your report grid. You can drag and drop them to put them in the place that you want, or group by them, sort, filter, etc.
6. If there is a Veeam warning on a backup job, there will be a “Yes” in the Warnings column, and the last warning message will display in the “Last Warning Message” column.
7. To see all warning messages, click the “Detail Log” icon for that particular job which will pop-up a screen with the detailed backup data info, errors and warnings.

Create a custom Veeam warnings report

1. Using the steps above, enable the "Warnings" and "Last Warning Message" columns to display and move them to whatever position you want in the report.
2. Optionally, hide any data columns you don't need to see.
3. You can also group, sort or filter the "Warnings" column by "Yes" to see those jobs with a warning more easily. 
4. Click the three dots at the top right of the report grid to Save as a New Report. Give this new custom report a title, such as "Veeam Warnings Report" and save it so it appears in your Report Library in the Created By You section.
