Identify job from notification email

[manilx]

McHenry Always had the same question, never asked....
Looked up the job/VM in XO to get the info but it should be clearly specified here also, should be more than easy.

[ph7]

I updated my XOCE Yesterday but now 2 commits behind
It has more info about the jobs that failed.

So I guess You are running XOA

I enabled the Shorter backup reports in a failing backup job, and got the same short report as You did.

[McHenry]

ph7

Yes, I am viewing the shorter email reports however these reports would be more useful if the origin of the report could be easily identified.

[McHenry]

manilx

Tried both and both have the same reports

[ph7]

McHenry
This is with the Shorter backup reports disabled:

[McHenry]

ph7

Thank you. Let me try that.

[McHenry]

ph7

OK, I see the difference.

When an individual VM fails to backup the report is as your shown above and displays the name of the VM however when the job fails as a whole the report inly includes the top section that has a Job ID & Run ID so no way I can see to identify where this job.

i.e.

olivierlambert
Could these reports include both the pool name and host name in addition to the Job ID and Run ID?

[olivierlambert]

Yes, it should be possible, even if the name can be changed (it's not "stable" vs an UUID). But it makes sense, asking pdonias about this.

[McHenry]

olivierlambert

Good point, the UUID of the host or pool would also work.

[olivierlambert]

It has been added to the backlog, thanks!

[McHenry]

olivierlambert

Whilst this request awaits implementation. If I check all hosts individually however I identify the host based upon the jobID or runID from the notification?

[olivierlambert]

Question for MathieuRA

[McHenry]

olivierlambert

Is this listed on GitHub so I can track any discussion/progress?

I am keen to see this implemented as currently we receive backup reports of failed jobs and have no idea which host is came from.

[McHenry]

olivierlambert

Still trying to identify the owner of a job so the I can determine which backup job failed. The email report does not identify the host/pool. Accordingly, I need to login to every individual XO/XOA and check the backup log manually to find the failed job.

Ping lsouai-vates

[lsouai-vates]

McHenry hello, thanks for the report.
Can you open a suggestion on Github so we can plan it or next roadmap?
Have a good day.
