Report Mail for Protection Group 'Manually added'

[Helferlein]

Dear all.

Since Update 3 for B&R 9.5 I get every morning at exactly 8am a report mail for the default protection group 'manually added'.
Until now I did not find out where this is configured.

Can somebody help?

Regards
Peter

Hello Peter,

Email report for rescan activity is generated automatically based on Veeam B&R global email notification settings.

[Helferlein]

Would be great to have more control over this report when it's created and in what case it is sent out.

[Gostev]

I believe you can already customize the report time via a registry value.
What control options would you like to have?

[Helferlein]

Options:
- Report enabled/disabled
- Report time
- Notify on success, warning, failure

Peter,

Frankly speaking you would like to have granular email notification settings for protection groups instead of global ones? Is the cumulative report for all protection groups works or you would like to see individua report for every protection group? Thanks in advance!

[JimmyO]

To be able to disable the report would be a nice start Is there a registry value?

[Helferlein]

Dear Dima.

Actually granular would be maximum, but as JimmyO is mentioning to disable it in the first would be great for now

Noted as feature requests. Thank you, guys, for sharing your feedback and Happy New Year!

Does this mean that it´s not possible to turn the notification off? Not even with a registry hack?

Not sure if its best to add on here or start a new thread... Had a support case (# 02444162) suggesting I submit a feature request to the forums. After upgrading Veeam to update 3 I am receiving Protection Group notifications everyday and I am looking for a more granular way to control/turn these notification off or a way to control when/how often we receive them(in addition to 'license key update' notifications that I still receive) Even with global notification settings set to 'not notify on success' I still get these notifications. ("[Success] Protection Group Name: no new hosts found") Odd thing too is these notifications all come at different times fairly consistently. Do most people not use these built in email notifications or use an RMM tool or another Veeam solution to handle veeam alerts?

This feature (more granular protection group notification settings) has been already tracked as potential enhancement for one of the next product releases. Thanks.

Just to add to this, with success unticked in global settings, this mail is still generated.

Doe the registry key disable the report?

Thanks,

Hello Ian,

Just to add to this, with success unticked in global settings, this mail is still generated.

I’ll double check this behavior with QA team as it does not sound right. Stay tuned.

Doe the registry key disable the report?

As far as I know there is no registry hack for that.

Hello,

is it possible to disable the mail notification of the protection group scan? Or change it not "send mail on failures"?

Best regards

[Dima P.]

Hi faust,

Email reports are generated based on your global email notification settings. If you want to disable the email reports for specific protection group you can disable the rescan of this Protection Group (right click the group and hit disable). Granular control over email notifications for protection groups will be provided in the next update. Thanks!

[Helferlein]

Hi Dmitry.

Just to let you now, that disabling a protection group does not help. I have disabled a protection group and the mails still are sent out every morning at 8 o'clock... Well.. One good thing has it when these mails are coming... First I know that the mailserver is running and second that it's time for a coffee

Regards
Peter

Thanks Peter! We are working on solution.

P.S. Your post made my day

Those report mails are very annoying, i only want to be informed if there is a failure in the protection group scan. In the general setting i have configured to get an notification on warning and errors, but still i get this "spam"

Hi all!
B&R Protection group Rescan task sends email notifications with Success status, like that:
[Success] Protection Group Physical Servers: no new hosts found.

Global setting "Notify on success" disabled.

I think that task should use global setting or have there own like other tasks.

Thanks.

Your post has been merged into existing discussion. Your request has been noted already. Thanks.

Hello,

I have many inventory jobs in my VBR for veeam agents and everyday i have many many spam with "no news host discover" success job.
title is like : "[Success] XXXXXXXXX: no new hosts found (2 total, 2 seen)"
My VBR email settings is to notify only for warning and failure... why do i received success ?

Regards,

[Baptiste]

Sorry about repost couldn't find it before.

Seems like a very simple and easily implemented option but I really DON'T care that the protection group found no new hosts! I have setup email options in the main B&R General Options area to only notify on failure, why does a protection group under the Physical & Cloud Infrastructure ignore that? Under the protection group I have no way of selecting the notification options I wan't, it just spams me daily based on my scan setting. I'd rather know when I lose a host or something is removed.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your post. We will fix this behavior in the upcoming updates.

[dntfmn]

[mikeely]

BUMP!

[Dima P.]

Hi folks,

Sorry for keeping silence. Fix is planned for Update 4. We are going to add granular email notification options for protection groups and agent backup jobs. Thank you for your patience and any inconvenience caused.

Hi,

I have the same annoying "[Success]" emails...! I set it to rescan every day at 9:00 PM, why it rescans again at 8:00 AM every day...?
BTW, no fix in Update 3a!

TIA
