[Feature Request] Send notification if backup job succeeds after retry

Post by kaffeine »

Hello,

our current problem: all of our Veeam Agent endpoints are configured to send notifications on "Warning" and "Error" (not on "Success"). Sometimes the print job fails (for a variety of reasons), and the corresponding email notification gets sent, as intended. However most of the times the backup job succeeds on the first retry, so the backup ends up being accomplished without problems, and on these occasions of "successful retry" we are not notified.

Usually it goes like this: in the morning we process all the warnings from all monitoring systems and that's when "crap, a few veeam agents didn't backup at night". We connect to each one of these and go "oh, actually the backup ended up being made" :)

So at the end the day these extra checks could be avoided if we know beforehand that the backups succeeded. If there are only a couple of agents deployed, it's not that bad, but if you have dozens of them, it gets time-consuming.

Does someone else thinks this would be relevant and useful?

For your consideration,

Hello kaffeine,

To understand the request a little bit better can you clarify if you are talking about managed agents (Veeam B&R or Veeam Availability Console) or standalone agents? Thank you!

Hello Dima P,

we have only standalone agents, and, according to their location, some of them have use a Veeam B&R Server as a Repository (as described here).
