The Veeam, MARS, WSB and VB365 collectors each carried identical copies
of logging, ISO time conversion, property lookup, posting to the API,
config loading, TLS setup, the sent-runs state file and the 401 check,
and their installers repeated the same key prompt, locked-down config,
file copy and scheduled-task registration. These now live in
collectors/common/BackupDashboard.Collector.psm1:
- Initialize-Collector / Test-RunSent / Send-JobReport /
Test-AuthRejected / Complete-Collector for collector runs
- Write-Log, Get-ErrorText, ConvertTo-IsoTime, Get-FirstValue
- Install-CollectorTask for the shared half of each installer
Collectors find the module next to themselves (installed) or in
..\common (repo); installers copy it into Program Files beside the
collector. The diagnostic scripts stay standalone single files.
No behavior change: a harness ran each collector against its mock
(12 scenarios: dry run, two real runs against a stub API, state file,
logs, exit codes, rejected key, en-GB, backfill) before and after, and
all 84 outputs are identical. Installers, run with stand-ins for the
Windows-only commands, write identical configs and tasks; the only
differences are the module being copied and the summary line naming
the shell's path.

PowerShell script for the VB365 server, run hourly as a SYSTEM scheduled
task (Windows PowerShell 5.1 by default, -PwshPath for PowerShell 7).
One dashboard job per VB365 backup job and backup copy job.
- Sessions from Get-VBOJobSession (and Get-VBOCopyJobSession where
available) within the lookback window; status from session Status,
message from the session log's warning/error lines, size from
Statistics.TransferredData ("1.5 GB" -> bytes)
- One VB365 server can protect several Microsoft 365 organizations, so
the dashboard company is chosen per job: OrganizationTenants mapping,
else Tenant, else the organization's name
- Next run from the job's NextRun; empty for disabled jobs
- Get-Vb365CollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps jobs and sessions, showing
each DateTime's Kind (local vs UTC); installer adapted from MARS
Not yet run against a real server.
