Feature Request: Webhook notifications for reports/alerts

[absentpetti]

We ingest the email notifications into an alert monitoring and management platform.
To get sensible information out of this requires regex queries to interpret the HTML/TXT email content.

For jobs that are very static this isnt too bad but is rather hit and miss.
For jobs that contain multiple servers or reports of variable length it becomes quite complicated.

We would prefer to be able to contruct a webhook report in addition to the standard email reports.

Hello Christopher

Thanks for the request.
May I ask, does your "alert monitoring and management platform" provide syslog support?
Would that be an option instead of mail notifications?

One of the alarms you can send to a syslog server is the backup task finished event. It provides the same structure for each machine:

Hi Fabian,

It supports email and webhook. We are currently using email but due to how you format your reports it's a bit complex getting the regex to extract meaningful information.
Additionally, I don't want to focus too much on this platform as the sole use case.

We would conceptually want to spit out webhooks to other systems as well.
