proxmox-backup-client notification on failed/successful backup

[nordicaussie]

Hi there!

I'm trying to configure a way to get notified if a proxmox-backup-client job is successful or failed.

I can't see any post-hook or anything like that, i'm currently running it as a cron job.

There is mention of a --output-format in the documentation, but when I put that in the command, it doesn't accept it, I also tried the environment variable, and that seemed to do nothing.

Does anyone have a way of using the output to trigger notifications based on whether the backup was successful or not?

Thanks!

There is a whole chapter for this in the official documentation: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/notifications.html

based on whether

That's probably controlled by a "matcher": https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/notifications.html#notification-matchers


Disclaimer: I am just using the classic mechanism, now called "mail-to-root"...
