Important Notes
- Notifications must be configured at the job level, not at the global level.
Steps
To set Email notifications, fill out the fields in the Email notifications section:
- Send alarm (error) notifications: If this option is selected, NAKIVO Backup & Replication will send email notifications to the specified recipients in case an error (for example, a job failure) occurs in the product.
- Send warning notifications: If this option is selected, NAKIVO Backup & Replication will send email notifications to the specified recipients in case the product generates a warning message (for example, lost connection to a host or Backup Repository).
- Limit email notification frequency: This option provides you with the ability to set up a notification email frequency and hourly limit. If notification emails exceed the hourly limit, all new notifications will be delivered in the next hour. If deselected, notification emails will be sent every 5 minutes with no hourly limit.
- Email notification recipients: Specify the recipients who will be receiving an alarm and warning notifications (if enabled).
Automatic Reports
To set automatic reports, fill out the fields in the Automatic Reports section:
- Job reports: If this option is selected, NAKIVO Backup & Replication will send an HTML report after the completion of every job (regardless of the job success or failure) to email addresses specified in the text field. Use a semi-colon to separate multiple email addresses.
- Failed Item Protection report: Contains information about all items which had failed to be protected by backup and/or replication jobs, and the error message. Additionally, configure Report info in the last option by entering the number of days you want to get the report.
- Overview report: If this option is selected, NAKIVO Backup & Replication will generate the Overview report (which includes information about all jobs and groups in the product) on the date and time specified in the scheduler and will send the report to the recipients specified in the text field. Use a semi-colon to separate multiple email addresses.
- Protection Coverage: If this option is selected, NAKIVO Backup & Replication will generate the Protection Coverage report. This includes information about all VMs & instances protected by backup and/or replication jobs as well as the information about all unprotected VMs & instances. The report will be sent to the recipients specified in the text field on the date and time specified in the scheduler. Use a semi-colon to separate multiple email addresses.
- Schedule: Configure the schedule at which you want to get the reports.
- Attach PDF copy to all automated reports: Select this option to get the additional attached copy of the report in PDF format.
