Monitoring Veeam with Dynatrace

Hi All

I would like to clarify the options available for monitoring Veeam.

I have looked at the Extensions available in Dynatrace Hub and there does not appear to be a Veeam extension.

Therefore, the options available appears to be:

Ingestion of Windows Event Logs related to Veeam on the Veeam servers e.g. Veeam backup servers and proxy servers
Retrieving information from the Veeam API
SNMP traps
Custom ActiveGate extension

For Option 2, is there functionality in Dynatrace that could query the Veeam API and use the results as a source for Dynatrace?

Another option appears to involve using Powershell scripts to query the Veeam API, but then the results would need to be pushed into Dynatrace.

I am not sure what would be running this Powershell script and what endpoint or methodology would then be used to ingest the data into Dynatrace.

Option 3 sounds reasonable, but I am not sure if the SNMP traps provide as much information as the logging or what is available via the API.

Option 4 may be an option but presumably based on the methods above e.g. combination of SNMP traps and API calls.

I would be curious to hear if anyone else has had to monitor Veeam from Dynatrace and what approach worked for them.

I have one case where I'm using traps. Have not tested the other options.
