Get Job Status Power Shell

hi @hs08 

i uses MyVeeamReport.ps1

MyVeeamReport.ps1 · GitHub

Try this code:

Get-VBRJob | Where-Object { $_.JobType -eq "Backup" }

The column headers of the output of an array of objects in powershell do not always align to the objects’ property names. To get the correct properties for filtering, pipe a single object to “format-list” (or “fl”).

@hs08,

If you’re ever not sure on what values are accepted, check the type for a given property by calling the GetType() method. If it’s a System.Enum, you can just call the enum names with an additional method:

PS C:\Users\david.LAB> $job.JobType.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     True     EDbJobType                               System.Enum


PS C:\Users\david.LAB> $job.JobType.GetType().GetEnumNames()
Backup
Replica
Copy
...
[result truncated cause it's big list]

I honestly just keep a copy of this output of enums around for quick reference when making filters with Where-Object. I usually just print a list every major release to make sure it’s current and use that as a reference.

If you aren’t sure which is which, make a job with a known type, then just get that job by name with Get-VBRJob -Name or use the -Id (you can always get the ID from the job log for a given job -- look near the beginning of a log (search ‘new log’ and then look for JobID or Job ID)

Hello, i want to get the ‘last Result’ and wnt to know what the header name?

I try many header parameters but not get the value.

Similarly, the reason that GetLastResult didn’t work for you is because that is a .NET internal method. These are unsupported methods, and I do not advise using them. Methods that are read-only like this one are typically safe to use, but it’s best to avoid them. To call them in a a Select-Object statement like you’re trying, you need to follow the example here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7.4#example-14-expandproperty-alters-the-original-object

Get-VBRJob | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq “Backup”} | Select Id, Name, JobType, @{n=”Last Result”;e={$_.GetLastResult()}}

PS C:\Users\david.LAB> $job | Select Id, Name, JobType, @{n="Last Result";e={$_.GetLastResult()}}

Id                                   Name                  JobType Last Result
--                                   ----                  ------- -----------
3713a1dd-8ff5-4a6d-ac24-4e89d348fffb dd-malware-box-backup  Backup     Success

You’re welcome hs08, but do remember, this is an unsupported method, so if there is _any_ weirdness with it, as per Support Policy (5.8) no support for such unsupported methods.

It will work and probably will not change, but I cannot guarantee that it won’t, so I advise build your script with the PSCustomObject and Get-VBRBackupSession + Get-VBRJob as noted.
