Question

Generating more detailed reports


I am able to generate reports from the UI, but I was wondering if there is a way to generate a more detailed report showing failed/completed jobs over a period of time?

You can generate more alerts from Grafana and most likely tweak things in Prometheus as well. It is a bit of a learning curve though as I am finding out myself:

You can also pull from the APIs

Am I missing something with this answer??? I have looked through the documentation on reports and monitoring…. The report is pretty much the same report given from the UI it looks like.

 I get that you can get it from prometheus manually but given that this is a subscription based platform I would think there is a way to generate a list of the jobs that have been run over a period of time for compliance purposes.

Considering the cost of this platform I would think that reports would be a little more extensive.

That is all I can see. I am sure the folks from Kasten can comment as well here. I don’t know about making feature requests in relation to Kasten. For Veeam you can make them in the R&D forums but Kasten are not present there.

Lets see what the Kasten support folks say. It could very well be that I missed something.

I am very much new to Veeam just 1 week of using. I maybe wrong but in Kasten dashboard I can see the reports my date and I can also filter them by day, weeks, months ,years and all reports. These reports are pdf downloadable with all the details.  Am I missing something here? What reports @Brandonrbt looking for?

Hello @Brandonrbt ,

Thank you for using K10 community!

As mentioned in the replies from our community, there are the reports generated from K10 dashboard also API can be used for this, there is also the possibility of using K10 Grafana/Prometheus instances and generate alerts that can be send to your email as an example.

Could you please let us know which kind of information you are not seeing in the reports, it would help us understand what you are looking for and try to help you, if it is not present in any of the options available we can raise a feature request for improvement.

 

Hope it helps.

FRubens

@FRubens this is actually a good thing to know, i.e. we can put feature request through the community hub. I say this because when people try to put in feature requests for Veeam here in the Hub they get pushed over to the R&D forums 😁. I was not sure we could place them here or via support. Thanks
