Veeam agent

This sensor does not support Veeam Agent Backup Jobs if they are managed by a Veeam Agent.

REST API

This sensor only supports version 1.5 of the Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API).

IPv6

This sensor supports IPv6.

Performance impact

This sensor has a very low performance impact.

Scanning interval

• The minimum scanning interval of this sensor is 1 minute.
• The recommended scanning interval of this sensor is 5 minutes.

Primary Channel

Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.

You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.

Graph Type

Define how this sensor shows different channels:

• Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
• Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
  You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

Stack Unit

This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above.

Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.

Result Handling

Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:

• Discard result (default): Do not store the sensor result.
• Store result: Store the sensor result and the last response in the \Logs\sensors subfolder of the PRTG data directory on the probe system. The file name is Result of Sensor [ID].log. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites this file with each scanning interval.

This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance.

In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node.

Downtime

In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status.

Job Runs Failed

The number of failed job runs (sessions)

This channel has a default limit:

• Upper error limit: 0

The Job Runs Failed channel shows the total number of all failed job runs.

Job Runs Finished

The number of finished job runs

The Job Runs Finished channel shows the total number of all finished job runs with status Success, Warning, and Failed.

Job Runs Running

The number of running job runs

Job Runs Successful

The number of successful job runs

The Job Runs Successful channel shows the total number of all finished job runs with status Success.

This channel is the primary channel by default.

Job Runs Warning

The number of job runs in the warning status

This channel has a default limit:

• Upper warning limit: 0

Jobs Scheduled

The number of scheduled backup jobs
