Feature request: Home view Jobs running

[cpfleger]

Hello,

I find it very useful when - at least - the target repo for Backup Jobs (for backup copy jobs also the source repo) would be shown in the Home view -> Jobs running (besides of Job Name, Session Type, Status and Start Time)so that it would not be necessary to view the details of the job itself any more.

Regards!

Hi Claus,

Just for a clarification, you're talking about this view in the UI, correct?



The Target column represents the target repository, which I think meets your request? But perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

As for the Source Repository on backup copies, we can consider the request, but may I ask, how would you want it displayed if a Backup Copy has many source repositories? This is a fairly common setup, and just not sure how useful it would be for larger Backup Copies with many source repositories as it would be just too cluttered in the UI.

Would that be sufficient with just the target? Else, this is accessible via automation (Powershell, RESTAPI), and I'm curious if that would be suitable.

I can guess that for Backup Copies you want to see the source/target repositories just confirm no incorrect configuration (i.e., you aren't routing a Backup Copy between two locations that have poor connection), but are there any other specific reasons you're wanting to see this in the UI and what you're hoping to check/avoid with such information?

Hey David,

nope. You are referring to the Jobs view in the top of the inventory of Home.
I refer to Last 24 Hours (running et al) where you do not see things like target, objects etc.

Regards!

Got it, thank you for clarifying, just wanted to confirm which section you meant.

I'm actually curious if you've worked with the Job Filter views: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120 These allow you to make custom Job Filters (with filters such as "running") which will show information like in the Job Statistics section; you can even add it to the job tree view so it shows as a new "type" under Jobs specific for your reporting. It still won't show the Source Repository right now, but I think this gets you pretty close to what you're hoping with the various filters.

Similarly, can you expand on what specific situations you're hoping to monitor here with regards to the source repository? I can imagine a few but interested in a bit more detail on your intentions here.
