Pool & Metadata backup - no option for email notification recipient

Mathieu

Hello,

I think we miss the option to set the email report recipient when the backup type is XO config & Pool metadata:

For the other backup types, the field is there, and everything is working fine:

Xen Orchestra from source (commit 41a8a, node v18.19.1).

Thanks,

Hmm I thought it was in the email transport plugin that you could tell which email will be used Ping @florent or @MathieuRA

@mathieu You can add multiple recipients (email addresses) in the backup-reports plugin to which all pool and metadata backup reports will be sent. I use a shared mailbox here, so I have never had the requirement to specify more than one recipient. The transport-email plugin is used to configurate the SMTP settings to send emails. For the sake of simplicity, I use the same shared mailbox here.

In the mail transport plugin, you must configure it as below (with the data you have).

And if you want to send the alerts to several people, add them to the backup settings, as below. If not, they will only be sent to the email from the plugin settings (as above).

OK, I found where to put the email address in the backup-report plugin.

It is just odd in the UI that for VM Backup & Replication and VM Mirror backup you can specify an email address for each job, but not for XO Pool & Metadata backup type.

Thanks for the help,
