show backup status of object within a job with mesg..

[spijkerfestijn]

We use powershell to display the backupstatus of backup jobs in our xymon monitortool. This works like a charm.
however when I get errors or warnings I want to display these also in my monitoring tool.
I can't figure out how to display the backup status of the VM's that are in the job.

So I get the Job information with
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name 'BackupServersStorage01'

Then I read out the Objects in the job.
$objects = Get-VBRJobObject -Job $job

And then I want to find the status per object to list it..
Server Status Message
====================================
Server01 Success -
Sever02 Warning VSS in use

Hi Hans,

This information on the result of each task is returned by Get-VBRTaskSession.

The easiest way to get this is to pass a CBackupSession object returned from Get-VBRBackupSession:

$bSess = Get-VBRBackupSession -Name "[that job name]"
$tSess = Get-VBRTaskSession -Session $bSess

$tSess will contain the result for each given task within the job.

Thanks!

Thanks.
The commands helped a lot... I only want to display the last status info... so i had to tune a bit

$bSess = Get-VBRBackupSession -Name "[BackupJobName]+[*]" | Sort creationtime -Descending | select -First 1
$tSess = Get-VBRTaskSession -Session $bSess | select-object Name,Status,Retrycounter | Sort-Object Name
Then walking through the tSess object and do the xymon magic.

Glad to hear you got it going And naturally, the data you want is bespoke, so I left that off, but glad you got what you needed. (and indeed CreationTime with -Descending is in almost all of my functions that have to do with session parsing so that the most recent is always first)
