Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Hello,
After many searches in documentation and forums, I'm still looking for a way to generate HTML report from command line (Powershell or other way).
I don't want any specific or fancy report, I just want to click on this using CLI :
Could you help me on this ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I've already seen this, it is a great report, but I don't have any use of this.
All I want is the official Veeam session report. I can't have it sent by Veeam Backup itself, as my jobs are launched and managed by an external tool.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
It seems to contain everything you're after. Even the representation appears to be in HTML.
Anyway, the approach will be write something similar yourself. You'll have to find the last session of given job and get from it whatever parameters you want to. For instance,

So, it's not possible to use Veeam builtin reports from CLI ?

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Yep, there is no such a thing like "generate report" method. However, with some efforts you can create similar report, using PS capabilities, since the given data is available and can be gotten via PowerShell smoothly. Thanks.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Well, it seems a bit reinventing the wheel... When I click on the appropriate option in GUI, I even have the HTML report generated in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp.
I guess it's time to use AutoHotKey to achieve that...

Not sure whether the usage of AutoHotKey would be easier than implementing simple PS script or even taking existing PS report, but you should certainly use the approach that suites your needs and desires best. Thanks.

[MERGED] : Backup Job Details-Report extraction
Hello everyone,
I want to extract a report from Veeam B&R about the Backup job details,properties and schedules of all already created jobs in a report format.
how can I get it via Powershell ?
There's not too much filtering options in Veeam Enterprise Manager for reporting and Analysis.
Please guide me through .

[MERGED] : Retrieve Data Read and Transferred figures
Hi,
I know you can view the properties of the backup under 'Disks' and see stats like data size and backup size, but when comparing them to the job history, these aren't exactly the same.
I need a script the retrieve each the figures for 'Read' and 'Transferred' from each job every morning, is there an simple way to do this?
Thanks

You need to modify the script provided above to get the desired information for all jobs. A simple cycle would be enough. Thanks.

I receive a can't pipe error. Where do I add that to the script? I don't know much about Powershell, other how to copy and paste others work.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
First of all it's difficult to troubleshoot the script without actually seeing it and the error it gives. Secondly, since this community provides a free of charge best effort support it would be very nice of you if you used forum search engine because many questions have already been answered before. For example this report created by one of our memebers might give you some hints regarding how to generate your own report using PowerShell. Also if you're looking for a decent reporting tool then Veeam ONE is worth checking.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
I just started evaluating Veeam One today.
As for the other issues. I am using the script from this thread. No alterations other than naming the job.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
I'm making a pull request for https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell , but you can already find the MimicReport I hacked together last night here https://github.com/tdewin/powershell/tr ... imicReport . Basically it tries to mimic the report. It should be fairly easy to modify if you don't want to send it to a file, but mail it instead

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
This is perfect. Thank you. I have it setup to output to a file. After looking and searching and searching, I've noticed a couple of things. Veeam ONE needs a way to do custom B&R reports. Most of the big time scripts change not only from B&R version 7 to 8 to 9 but also from PS versions 2 to 3 to 4 to 5. Thank you again PTide and tdewin.

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
How do I output just the last session? I see the note to do so and it doesn't make sense to me.
Code: Select all
if ($JobName -ne $null) {
$Jobs = @(Get-VBRJob -Name $JobName)
if ($Jobs.Count -gt 0) {
$Job = $Jobs[0];
$jt = $job.JobType;
if ($jt -eq "Backup" -or $jt -eq "Replication" -or $jt -eq "BackupSync") {
$sb = New-Object -TypeName "System.Text.StringBuilder";
write-reportmimicheader $sb
write-reportmimicheadertable $sb
#if you want other sessions, for example, last session of each job, you could capture all sessions first without a filter ($allsessions = get-vbrbackupsession) , then create a for loop to go over all jobs and then use $sessions = $allsesions | ? {..} with a filter to select the sessions you like
#you should be able to call write-reportemimicrecord multiple times on the same stringbuilder
$sessions = Get-VBRBackupSession -Name ("{0}*" -f $Job.Name) | ? { $_.jobname -eq $Job.Name }
$orderdedsess = $sessions | Sort-Object -Property CreationTimeUTC -Descending
if ($Max -gt 0 -and $Max -lt $orderdedsess.Count) {
$orderdedsess = $orderdedsess | select -First $Max
}
foreach($sess in $orderdedsess) {
write-reportmimicrecord -stringbuilder $sb -job $Job -session $sess
}
write-reportmimicfootertable $sb -server (get-veeamserver)
write-reportmimicfooter $sb
#If you want to send the html as an email, you can use $content = $sb.ToString() to put the content in a variable. You should be able to use Send-MailMessage -BodyAsHtml -Body $content to actually send the message
$sb.ToString() | Out-File -FilePath $File
} else {
Write-Error "Job can only be backup, backup copy or replication job. Cannot be $jt"
}
} else {
Write-Error "Can not find Job with name $JobName"
}
} else {
Write-Error "JobName is null"

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
there is actually a parameter called -max. Just do -max 1 if you want only the latest session

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Ok new version has been merged in veeamhub : https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/ ... imicReport
You can now supply no jobname, in which case it will take just the latest session for every job (so you get a global job overview)

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Using this script. I found that when I use the -max variable of 1, The HTML page's header still lists "failed" if it previously failed at any time. In conjunction it will still show a red banner. Is there a way to change the way it calls for that info to also only look at the last session?

The issue is not 100% clear, could you potentially screenshot the issue? Also you can use the github to open up issue's, so they are centrally tracked and they will be more visible for us

[MERGED] automatic tape session report or powershell
Hello,
The Veeam Support asked if I could open a Feature Request for the Problem I have, so here it is:
The Subject says it already, I'm searching a function (e.g.: a powershell command) to create a Tape Session Report in Veeam, like clicking this Button:
The Button creates a HTML document with all reports, which is not necessary but nice to have.
If you need any further information please let me know.
Regards
Seraphim

Re: Generate Veeam Session Report (HTML) from Powershell
Hello Seraphim,
Could you specify the information you want to get in the report?
By the way, do you use Veeam ONE?
There are several predefined reports you may be interested in.
Thanks!
