Prerequisites​

NSClient++​

To monitor Veeam solutions through NSClient++ API, install the Centreon packaged version of the NSClient++ agent. Please follow our official documentation
and make sure that the Webserver / RESTApi configuration is correct.

Starting with Veeam 11, the Plugin will try to find the most recent version of the VeeamPSSnapin.

yum install centreon-plugin-Operatingsystems-Windows-Restapi
  1. On the Centreon Web interface, install the Veeam Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Plugin Packs > Manager page
