Managing Virtual Infrastructure with Veeam ONE

Chapter 2. Configuring Veeam® ONE™ Monitoring

Veeam® ONE™ provides a robust monitoring solution to view real-time alerts for the backend and performance issues.

It takes the guesswork out of troubleshooting performance and availability issues in a virtual infrastructure. This chapter will explain the process used to configure Veeam® ONE™ Monitor.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • The Veeam® ONE™ Monitor interface
  • Monitoring tasks and events

Das war ein Fehlkauf.Das "Buch" war in 10 Minuten quergelesen, kaum inhalt (nicht viel mehr Text als das, was in den Screen shots ohnehin steht), Seitenweise screenshots, die "business users and virtualization administrators" (an die sich das Buch ja richtet) nicht brauchen (Beispiele? Für die Beschreibung einer meiner Meinung nach Standardinstallation benötigt der Autor 21 Screenshots auf 19 Seiten - das Kapitel "Installation" endet be Seite 47 von insgesamt 152). Jedes Kapitel bekommt einen Dreizeiler "Summary" als eigene Seite am Ende des Kapitels. Fünf solcher Summaries sind immerhin 3 % des Gesamtwerks.Mir persönluch hat's leider nix gebracht. Der Stern, den ich vergeben musste sind zwei zu viel.

For those environments requiring administrative and reporting functionality for virtual environments, Veaam ONE is a fantastic product for that. The book begins with an introduction and instruction on downloading, installing, and initial configuration of the ONE product. The book continues with a discussion on the layout and data presented in the various views. Discussion of setting up reports, monitoring, and dashboards is given at a very high overview. As all administrators and engineers will attest, reports are almost a never-ending request from management. As a result, the author continues with a whole chapter devoted to discussing the reporting capabilities of ONE. A very brief overview of ONE Business View is presented, as well as the chapter on Best Practices.Overall, I think it's a valiant effort at presenting Veeam ONE. My biggest criticism would be that the Business View and Best Practices chapters are so short. To me, those are much more important than the other chapters (say, the installation and step-by-step walk-through with images). The other criticism is that, based on the release date of this book, Veeam ONE v8 was released at this time, so the book is already a version behind. While the underpinnings of the software should be similar, the reader might wish to have the most recent version presented (particularly based on the book's release date). That being said, the data is well-presented and the images and writing style are easy to follow.

I can recommend this book to anyone looking for a first introduction to Veeam One. It takes the reader by the hand and leads him through the installation, setup, and first use ...However, it’s not up-to-date with the latest version of Veeam One, since it covers Veeam One v7. It also could be a little more in-depth in the last two chapters on Veeam One Business View and Best Practives.

This book describes in detail the installation and configuration of the Veeam One software. From monitoring to generating reports. This book describes these steps in detail. Best practices and deep troubleshooting steps are very basic and won't provide the reader with much guidance. For the novice user of the software this is however a good start and gives you more insight in the product.
