Agents and modules generated by the plugin

Running the plugin will create a single agent or one per VM if the agent_per_vm token is enabled. It will create the following modules:

<item_name> Last backup Indicates the time elapsed since the last backup was performed for that resource. This metric allows you to quickly detect if a backup has not been performed for too long.
<item_name> Recovery points Displays the total number of recovery points available for the resource. The module description also indicates how many backups have completed successfully and how many have failed.
<item_name> Protection state Indicates the protection status of the resource within the Azure backup system. It lets you know if the resource is properly protected or if protection is stopped, paused, or has an error.
<item_name> Last backup status Status of the last backup performed. It allows you to know if the last execution was successful or if there were any problems.
<item_name> Health status Overall health status of the resource within the backup system, indicating whether Azure detects any recommended or required actions.
<item_name> Protection status Indicates whether the resource protection is in a healthy state or if there is a problem that could affect the correct execution of backups.

The modules "Protection state," "Last backup status," "Health status," and "Protection status" create a numerical value module, assigned to a status, with the following equivalencies:

Protection State

Protected 1
IRPending 2
Invalid 3
BackupsSuspended 4
ProtectionPaused 5
ProtectionStopped 6
ProtectionError 7

Last backup status

Healthy 1
IRPending 2
Invalid 3
Unhealthy 4

Health status

Passed 1
ActionSuggested 2
ActionRequired 3
Invalid 4

Protection status

Healthy 1
Unhealthy 2

item name is the name of the resource that has the backup configured in Azure. In other words, it identifies the protected item within the backup system, such as a virtual machine, database, or storage resource.
