Introduction

This plugin aims to monitor the status of backups in Microsoft Azure, allowing you to continuously check whether protected resources are performing their backups correctly. Thanks to this monitoring, it is possible to detect backup failures, find out the protection status of resources, and verify when the last backup was performed, which helps to ensure data availability and recovery capability in the event of incidents.

The plugin connects to the Azure environment to obtain information about the backup services configured in the subscription. With this data, it generates different metrics related to the status of the backups, such as the time elapsed since the last backup, the number of available recovery points, or the overall protection status.

This information is then sent to Pandora FMS, where the necessary agents and modules are created to view and monitor the status of backups from the monitoring console. This gives the customer a clear, centralized view of the status of their backups in Azure and allows them to act quickly in the event of any problems.
