Different Notification Settings per Job?

Post by lesterclayton »

Is it possible to have different notification settings per Backup/Replication Job?

The situation that I have is that I have 7 backup jobs which run weekly that notify me on Success, Failure and Errors. I also have 1 replication job that runs every hour that notifies me in the same way - but I would prefer that this job only notifies me in the event of Failures and Errors.

I know it is possible to make each job send out notifications, and it will just use the global settings - so my current workaround is to have no notifications for the replication schedule - but this won't notify me upon failures either so it's not a solution. I also realise that I can just exclude Success notifications, but that will affect all jobs - not just the replication. I rely on receiving the success notifications of the backup jobs for historical auditing purposes, so excluding successes from all jobs is not an option.

Hi Lester,

We have already added granular notification settings on the job level to the next release. As a workaround for now, you may want to consider using Veeam ONE as a monitoring tool for the backup infrastructure. With our built-in notification engine you can set an alarm in the exact way you have described above.

Thanks!

As an additional option you can set a simple PS script as a post job activity. Based on the job results, it will or will not send you a mail notification. Thanks.
