How to get dialy report on each client in one email ?

[lotamoka]

Hi
Any idea how to accomplish above. I am looking report which says backup for this particular system completed successfully or failed or missed. If you have any script that would be very much appreciated. I am very new to legato.

In the client resource you may use the "Owner notification" attribute. just add a mail statement here.

Hi 605
As per your suggestion we will get seperate email for each group. I want one email for all group or all client saying success or failure or misses. Any other suggestion ?

You will get the group notification anyway. For a UNIX/Linux server, it is a mail to the root user. Just on Windows, it is written to a file by default (as Windows does not have an email system by default).

The owner notification is a client attribute. Consequently it should be executed at the end of each client backup.

Hi,

There are several ways you can accomplish this. The best would probably be to utilize the NMC reports (included in 7.3 and later). You can schedule them with at/cron and run them from command line and make your reports emailed.

Another option is to script your own report using mminfo and nsradmin to get all the info you need.

I am new to Legato and have a similar question. I would like to have the logs sent to a share drive. Is this possible to do or would I have to move them manualy? Any help on this would be great. Thank you in advance

This is only possible if you change the NW installation path. Of course, it should not be a network shared drive (i don't even know whether NetWorker would allow the installation to such path).

Hi 605,
In fact it is an admin share that only 3 of us have access to. We are just trying to make things a little more SOX friendly. I am a rookie when it comes to Legato and an learning on the fly. Bascialy we are trying to have the logs dumped out to a folder so we can archive them and show proof to the auditors of backups from the "past

Instead of moving all of networker to a share you can set up your own logging through the configurable notifications. Here's an example of an action that will write to a share:

nsrlog -f "\\rif123\sharename\file.log"

That should work just fine for you. Don't forget to setup the share so NetWorker can access it though.

Also remember that the logfile is exclusive locked while NetWorker is running. Don't really know the impact of a lost network connection will be for the logfile, but that is for you to find out
