Monitoring Azure Backup Jobs with Zabbix

This approach uses filtering Event Viewer for entries created by Azure Backup software.

zabbix.ps1

cls

$a=Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName = "CloudBackup"; StartTime = Get-Date -UFormat "%m/%d/%Y"} -MaxEvents 1 | sort-object TimeCeated | FT -HideTableHeaders -property Message | Out-String

   

Switch ($a)

{

{$_ -match 'The backup operation has completed'} { $result = 0}

{$_ -match 'Storage quota is within limits.'} { $result = 0}

{$_ -match 'The backup operation has started.'} { $result = 0}

{$_ -match ''} { $result = 0}

{$_ -match '-vv'} { $result = 0}

else {$result=1}

}

$result

cd "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\bin\win64"

.\zabbix_sender.exe -z zabbix_server -p 10051 -s zabbix_host -c "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf" -k backup.azure[azure] -o $result -vv

Create scheduled task to send data to zabbix on regular interval.

Program/script:C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Add argument:-file “C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix.ps1”

Start in (optional) C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent

Create Item:

Type:zabbix trapper

Trigger will fire off if result is > 0

{zabbix_host:key.last()}>0
{zabbix_host:backup.azure[azure].last()}>0
