vzdump notification customization

[bpahlke]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a way to display the Backup Job comment in the subject or the message body of an email notification.
I'm aware of the https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-notifications.html#_overriding_notification_templates, but I'm unaware of an list of usable variables?

Is this even possible to achieve at the moment with PVE 9.2.4?
I am doing different backups, and what to see at a glance what backup was executed.

I don't know if they publish a complete list somewhere, but these come from the standard template:

{{status-text}} "backup successful" or "backup failed: ..."
{{total-size}} Total bytes backed up
{{total-time}} Total duration in seconds
{{logs}} Full log output text
{{error}} Error message (if failed)
{{guest-table}} Table of VMs/CTs (VMID, name, status, time, size, filename)
{{title}} Auto-generated notification title
{{severity}} "info" or "error"
{{timestamp}} Unix timestamp

Thank you Pawel,
I'm aware of the variables used in the standard template.

I tried to use {{comment}} and {{job-comment}}, but they are being replace by nothing.

vzdump backup {{comment}} status ({{fqdn}}): {{status-text}}

resulted in this

vzdump backup status (pve1.management.internal): backup successful
