Centralized backup reporting
-
Interested to hear what people have done for facilitating a central backup report? Getting the one off success/fail via email is fine for testing, but I must have a summation report of all backups on "one" page.
-
I'm not sure to understand what do you need exactly? Is the "backup" view log doing what you need or you need something else?
-
I'm pretty sure that @mmuehlbauer talks about pulling/forwarding logs from xoa/xcp to eg. Zabbix/Graylog or just syslog server, and from there (from centralized log management tool) checks if everything is fine.
-
There is a Nagios plugin in this case. Also there is multiple way to actively parse XO logs and put them somewhere else. But I'm not sure it's exactly what he needs.
-
Maybe @mmuehlbauer needs something like a weekly backup report? Like the backup history list.
-
@borzel Exactly!

@olivierlambert Could you link the Nagios plugin? Although I am not really interested in setting up Nagios but will do what I must to get a report summary across all backups. You mention: "Also there is multiple way to actively parse XO logs and put them somewhere else." Might you have links to detail this area?
Oliver, I am moving away from Storagecraft, to your Orchestra software for backups; which I am impressed with.
Trying to recreate a summary report across all backup jobs to basically re-create this report: (file attached).

About Nagios and XO backup: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-backup-reports-in-nagios/
But ideally, I'd like a better "specification" on exactly what you need

@olivierlambert I tried uploading a file in my last post to you. Apparently you are not seeing that as it was .html
Here is jpg.

Something just like this would be the utopian ideal. Basically I just need a one stop summary of all backups; historically.

That sounds doable. Please create an issue on XO GitHub issue tracker

@olivierlambert Cool. Will do so tomorrow morning. Just about headed out the door now.
-
@mmuehlbauer cool picture... the controlling girls at my work would love to have such a chart from XO! +1

@olivierlambert Sorry if this landed in the wrong github. Seems like lots of them exist and many have moved.
