Veeam Kasten Red Hat ACM Multi-Cluster Observability

This dashboard delivers a unified view of Veeam Kasten backup status and protection health across all clusters managed by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) with Multi-Cluster Observability (MCO). It is accessible via the Grafana instance which ships with Red Hat ACM.

Kasten metrics flow from each managed cluster via Prometheus remote_write to the MCO Thanos receive endpoint. The dashboard queries Thanos and surfaces them in the ACM Observe → Dashboards → General folder, with variable filters for cluster, policy, and application.

What this dashboard shows:

• Backup job history — completed, failed, and skipped action counts over time, per cluster
• Restore point inventory — local snapshot and export restore point counts by cluster
• Policy compliance — backup success/failure rates by policy name and application
• Storage utilization — local snapshot storage usage and PVC capacity consumed by Kasten workloads

Data source: Prometheus / Thanos (MCO hub)

Deployment method: ConfigMap injection into ACM MCO Grafana (label grafana-custom-dashboard: "true" on the ConfigMap in the open-cluster-management-observability namespace). No direct Grafana API access required.

Prerequisites:

• RHACM hub cluster with MCO deployed
• Managed clusters running Kasten with remote_write configured to MCO Thanos (port 19291)
• Kubelet PV metrics added to the ACM observability allowlist (kubelet_volume_stats_used_bytes, kubelet_volume_stats_capacity_bytes)
• OpenShift CLI (oc) with access to the hub cluster

See the Kasten documentation for details on configuring remote_write for Red Hat ACM and for details on deploying this dashboard via an OpenShift configmap.
