reports/summary/job_statistics, download report?

Post by Dylan_Wiebe »

Hello All,

I'm looking to automate some reporting, currently I'm exporting to XLS the Job Status page in my Enterprise Manager.

This gives me all the information I could ever want. But, I'd like to automatically email this xls report to myself.

The closest thing I can find is using the reports/summary/job_statistics portion of the rest API, which gives a great overview.

Code: Select all

xmlns                     : http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0
xsd                       : http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
xsi                       : http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
RunningJobs               : (redacted)
ScheduledJobs             : (redacted)
ScheduledBackupJobs       : (redacted)
ScheduledReplicaJobs      : (redacted)
TotalJobRuns              : (redacted)
SuccessfulJobRuns         : (redacted)
WarningsJobRuns           : (redacted)
FailedJobRuns             : (redacted)
MaxJobDuration            : (redacted)
MaxBackupJobDuration      : (redacted)
MaxReplicaJobDuration     : (redacted)
MaxDurationBackupJobName  : (redacted)
MaxDurationReplicaJobName : 
BackupJobStatusReportLink : Workspace/ViewReport.aspx?definition=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&ShowParams=1
However the last entry, BackupJobStatusReportLink, looks like could potentially house more information. Is this the report I seek? And if so, how do i actually access that via rest api? so far all my attempts have been in vain.

I've only been using the Enterprise manager rest api for about an hour, so my knowledge is fairly limited, any help would be appreciated.

A bit of off-topic: if you have Veeam ONE deployed, you can automate report generation and delivery just in few clicks > Veeam Backup & Replication Report Pack

If I'm not mistaken, the entity you're referring to is more a service parameter not intended to be used by RESTful API consumer.

I'm wondering what specific information you're trying to get via RESTful API.

Thanks.

Is this something that you were able to figure out? I was looking for the same answer

Same question here - what kind of information would you like to get, using Enterprise Manager RESTful APIs? Chances are, we will be able to suggest an alternative to the said service parameter.
