This is also the case for Linux agents. We have both Linux and Windows agents and only the VMware backups are discovered.

Hi,
This may be a limitation of the API. 
In the template the API  is used (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vbr_rest/reference/vbr-rest-v1-1-rev0.html?ver=120#tag/Jobs) 

x-api-version: 1.0-rev2

In my case, I changed in the JS script of the "get metric" item the version of the api to get the replication jobs.

By going with 

x-api-version: 1.1-rev2

it's ok for replication jobs. It may be the case for Windows Agent Backup

thomas.sciot The change to the newest version of the api does indeed correct the issue for replication jobs but not for the Windows agent job type.

This is indeed due to a limitation of the API (source):

 

The "/api/v1/backups" endpoint has all the backup job types without the replication jobs but I'm guessing that a switch to this endpoint would require significant change in the template and discovery logic.

 

I tried finding changes that would reflect this but to no avail.

Unless anyone here has a solution that I missed ?

Michael.W From what I see there would also be an API on the Windows Agent side. (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/em_rest/agents.html?ver=120 https://forums.veeam.com/powershell-f26/question-backup-job-check-powershell-for-last-24-hours-t72958.html)

Couldn't you with the zabbix agent on the windows, reassemble the data from the backup?
