Script returns an error

[sinankizar]

Hello,

I have a Grafana instance working with not too many dashboards. Thanks to you we are successfully monitoring our vsphere environment. Now I thought I have to give your VBR dashboard a try too. I have edited the .sh with our details. but our .sh gives us below error. In your blog:

veeamJobSessions="1000" veeamUsername="YOURVBRUSER" veeamPassword="YOURVBRPASSWORD" veeamBackupServer="YOURVBRAPIPORT" veeamBackupPort="9419" #Default Port

But I thought "YOURVBRAPIPORT" should be our servers IP and edited accordingly

Here is our details:

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS / Grafana 9.5.2 / InfluxDBv2 / Telegraf 1.26.3 / jq installed

veeamInfluxDBURL="http://192.168.." #Your InfluxDB Server, http://FQDN or https://FQDN if using SSL veeamInfluxDBPort="8086" #Default Port veeamInfluxDBBucket="veeam" # InfluxDB bucket name (not ID) veeamInfluxDBToken="API_TOKEN_CREATED_FOR_veeam_BUCKET" # InfluxDB access token with read/write privileges for the bucket veeamInfluxDBOrg="OUR_ORG" # InfluxDB organisation name (not ID)

veeamJobSessions="1000" veeamUsername="DOMAIN\domain.admin" veeamPassword="domain.admin_PASSWORD" veeamBackupServer="192.168.." veeamBackupPort="9419" #Default Port

And here is an error that I am getting for every job I have created in VBR.

Writing veeam_vbr_backupobjects to InfluxDB unknown arguments: write -t "API_TOKEN_CREATED_FOR_veeam_BUCKET" -b veeam -o MAT -p s veeam_vbr_backupobjects,veeamVBR=192.168..,veeamVBRBobjectName=MAT-TR-VSPR,veeamVBRBobjecttype=VM,veeamVBRBobjectPlatform=VMware,veeamVBRBobjectviType=VirtualMachine,veeamVBRBobjectObjectId=vm-78001,veeamVBRBobjectPath=192.168..\MAT-TR-DC001\192.168..\MAT-TR-VSPR restorePointsCount=2 Usage of influx: -version Display the version and exit. -host 'host name' Host to connect to. -port 'port #' Port to connect to. -socket 'unix domain socket' Unix socket to connect to. -database 'database name' Database to connect to the server. -password 'password' Password to connect to the server.

Examples:

# Use influx in a non-interactive mode to query the database "metrics" and pretty print json:
$ influx -database 'metrics' -execute 'select * from cpu' -format 'json' -pretty

# Connect to a specific database on startup and set database context:
$ influx -database 'metrics' -host 'localhost' -port '8086'

I have edited my first question. Looks like I am getting the veeam info but I am experiencing a problem with writing to veeam bucket with the commands in the script. Looks like I am just a step away from my perfect dashboard :) Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for grafana dashboards, Finally I have managed to get it work. I have uninstalled the infloxdb-client and installed influx-cli and after this step everything is working as it should.

Thanks again :)

Thank you so much!!! Sorry I've missed the comments here, gmail didn't sent me any email.

Will add those requirements and fix typo to the document :)

Hola Jorge, muchas gracias por tus aportes a la comunidad. Estoy teniendo el mismo error en un entorno desplegado en K8s. He desinstalado influxdb-client pero persiste el problema. Recomiendas instalar un Linux y aplicar la solución de sinankizar o piensas en otra solución? Gracias!!

Nunca me ha pasado, no importa que tengas todo en Kubernetes, el .SH desde donde lo ejecutas? Desde un Linux verdad? Ahi es donde tienes que tener instalado influx cli: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/tools/influx-cli/?t=Linux

No me he encontrado con el problema nunca, aqui algunos ejemplos para que veas si puedes escribir informacion usando el comando https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/write/
