Copy the Script to the computer running VEB.
Create a Task, triggered by an event of the source "Veeam Endpoint Backup"
Make sure that the event is really happening, I wondered a lot that the task was "ready" but no mails came, although VEB finished and the script was ok. I had to "execute" it once.
Code: Select all
###########################################################
# Edit this part:
$youremailserver= "YourServerName"
$sender = "YourSenderAddress"
$recipient = "YourRecipient"
###########################################################
# Put most info into the body of the email:
$TimeGenerated = get-eventlog "Veeam Endpoint Backup" -newest 1 -entrytype Information, Warning, Error -source "Veeam Endpoint Backup" | Format-List -property TimeGenerated | out-string
$Source = get-eventlog "Veeam Endpoint Backup" -newest 1 -entrytype Information, Warning, Error -source "Veeam Endpoint Backup" | Format-List -property Source | out-string
$EntryType = get-eventlog "Veeam Endpoint Backup" -newest 1 -entrytype Information, Warning, Error -source "Veeam Endpoint Backup" | Format-List -property EntryType | out-string
$Message = get-eventlog "Veeam Endpoint Backup" -newest 1 -entrytype Information, Warning, Error -source "Veeam Endpoint Backup" | Format-List -property Message | out-string
$InstanceID = get-eventlog "Veeam Endpoint Backup" -newest 1 -entrytype Information, Warning, Error -source "Veeam Endpoint Backup" | Format-List -property InstanceID| out-string
$Body = " $TimeGenerated Instance-ID: $InstanceID $Message "
# Determine the subject according to the result of the backup:
if ($Message.contains("Success")) {
$subject = "EndpointBackup finished with Success."
} elseif ($InstanceID.contains("110")) {
$subject = "EndpointBackup started."
} else {
$subject = "EndpointBackup finished but NO SUCCESS!! Check Body for details."
}
# Send the email using the powershell object (replace with e.g. blat.exe for older powershell-Versions)
if ($InstanceID.contains("110") -Or $InstanceID.contains("190")) {
Send-MailMessage -To $recipient -Subject $subject -From $sender -Body $body -SmtpServer $Youremailserver
} else {
write-host "I don't want messages on 10010 and 10050 Restorepoint-creation or -remove Emails, skip those"
}
write-host "Script finished with -$instanceID- as the last event-ID"
I hope that someone finds the code useful, although I would really appreciate if it would be a feature of VEB instead of this peace of additional artwork.
Thanks so far for this useful free tool!
