How it connects
What you need
- User name and passwordThe account given the Veeam Backup Viewer role, in the form HOST\user or DOMAIN\user.
Network ports to open
9419/TCPREST API (HTTPS, default)
Setup steps: Give DumbMonit a Veeam Backup Viewer account
On the backup server, open Computer Management → Local Users and Groups → Users → New User and create the account as follows, with a long random password.
dumbmonitIn the Veeam console, open the main menu > Users and Roles > Security, click Add, enter the account (for example VBR01\dumbmonit) and give it the Veeam Backup Viewer role only.
In DumbMonit, enter the backup server address (for example vbr.lan) and the account as HOST\dumbmonit or DOMAIN\dumbmonit, with its password.
Tick Accept an unverifiable certificate unless you installed your own: the REST API (port 9419) uses a self-signed one.
Heads-up. Veeam keeps some REST API routes for the Backup Administrator role, the license among them on current versions: with the Viewer role DumbMonit shows the license as not readable and never asks for more.
