email notification

hi all

does anyone can help how to configure the email notification in netbackup 10.4.0.1 running on a flex appliance 5260 so that it sends a daily report of jobs by mail 

Thanks

    you can not do that from netbackup or netbackup appliances.

    You must use netbackup IT analytics or Alta View.

      Hello

      Oh well my take it is doable...

      First setup mta on primary and check if you do receive emails send from master...
      then create script to gather needed information and redirect its output to the file. next create cron job (this is tricky I have to recall how it was) - to send this file to desired recipient...

      ie you can try these to start with...

      bpdbjobs -summary

      TODAY=`date -d 'now' +%m/%d/%Y`

      YDAY=`date -d 'now -1 day' +%m/%d/%Y`

      bpdbjobs |grep -e ${TODAY} -e ${YDAY}

       

      For bpdbjobs to work with this grep you need to check this out https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/18716246-126559472-0/v40554385-126559472

      and add 

      STARTED

      Started

      to your columns output...

        Hi quebek​ 

        Thank you for your answer. 

        Could you please show step by step the mta configuration so that i can send a test mail from the primary instance and then i will be able to proceed to script using bpdbjobs

        I have installed on the primary postfix and modified the /etc/postfix/main.cf and tried to test by sending an email but the email stay queued and cannot be delivered 

         

        here below my config from the output of the command

        # postconf -n

        alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases

        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

        debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5

        html_directory = no

        inet_interfaces = localhost

        inet_protocols = all

        mail_owner = postfix

        mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix

        manpage_directory = /usr/share/man

        meta_directory = /etc/postfix

        mydestination =

        mydomain = tapapal.local

        myhostname = primary.tapapal.local

        newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix

        queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

        readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/README_FILES

        relayhost = [10.10.10.10]:587

        sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/samples

        sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

        setgid_group = postdrop

        shlib_directory = /usr/lib64/postfix

        smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes

        smtp_sasl_password_maps = static:Notification@bk.tapapal.com:P@ssw0rd

        smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

        smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

        smtp_tls_CApath = /etc/pki/tls/certs

        smtp_tls_security_level = may

        smtp_use_tls = yes

        smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/tls/certs/postfix.pem

        smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/tls/private/postfix.key

        smtpd_tls_security_level = may

        unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

        Thanks

    Configure SMTP in NetBackup, set up daily job report notifications.
