Retreive VM failure or warning info via Powershell

[pizzim13]

Using powershell, is it possible to pull VM failure or warning info from a job? See screenshot for an example:

Hi, no I don't believe this is possible with PowerShell cmdlets we have. Thanks.

Once again, another non-supported method. But if you really need this data:

Code: Select all

$Info = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupTaskSession]::GetByJobSession($session.id)
$Info[0].Reason

You get $Session by doing Get-VBRBackupSession. This will allow you what you need. You can do $info |Gm and then if you want to do any of the methods/properties, you will want to do $info[0] as it is an array of objects.

Hi,

Necroposting here but hey why not - seems like "[Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupTaskSession]::GetByJobSession" does not work anymore, am I right? I look for a quick way to get the warning message for the last backup as this

Code: Select all

$vbrsessions = Get-VBRBackupSession | ?{$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).adddays(-1) -and $_.result -eq "warning" }

takes long time to run.

Any ideas how to get this by not going through all of the sessions but just to see session info for one particular backup job?

Hi Pawel,

I have just tested this method in v11 and it has worked. What is it you are trying to do precisely? You know exactly that your last job session finished with warning and you are seeking to get this session? Or are you trying to get the latest session with warning without knowing which one is it?

Thanks,
Oleg
