Hey,

There is an "Email Home" function on Avamar. I think you can try to use the function.

1. Login to your Avamar GUI.

2. Click Tools -> Manage Profiles

3. You will see many profiles.

4. Find "High Priority Events" profile, then copy it to a new profile(Any name).

5. The new copied profile can be used for sending email notification.

6. Edit the new profile and click "Event Codes", then select the event codes you want to monitor.

     Notice: If you monitor too many events, you may received notification email frequently.

7. Click "Email notification", enter a email address you want to receive notification email to "Enter Recipient".

For more detailed about "Email Home", you can refer to following documents.

"Enabling the Email Home feature" section of Avamar 7.0 Operational Best Practices on page 88.

"Modifying “Email Home” configuration" section of Avamar 7.0 Administration Guide on page 200.

Hope this helpful.

DPA is one what if you have it - you can do lots of reports and emailthem ( if you do not have it - a good argument is that it does reports on more than just Avamar!)  Ask your EMC salesman about it.

or find the command line for the report and add it to cron on the avamar server.

If you only need the built-in reports, why not set up an MCS profile to e-mail the report to you? You can access the profiles by clicking Tools => Manage Profiles... in the GUI. Profiles created in the root domain support attaching various reports -- Activities reports, Client reports, etc.

If you scroll to the right, there is a place where you can set "Since Count" and "Since Unit". The Avamar GUI is uh... not very intuitive.

I was able to send myself an Activities - Bytes Protected Client 2 report for the past day from a test grid by using the configuration shown in the screenshot below:

Please give that a try and let me know if it works for you.

Ianderson -

I have never gotten that to work for anything that takes a date range.

like bytes protected 2

it needs a date range but cannot figure out how to put one in, so the report is always blank.

(Jakkie - forgive me for piggy backing on your thread - but it makes sence if all the questions about this were in the same place)

Ianderson.... I did as you suggested, and I changed the report to 1 days ago, but it does not keep the 1 - it keeps changing back to 0.

so the report I got Sunday had no total in it.  got better results from a cron entry.

(and I am using bytes protected total not client)

Jakkie - were you ever able to get this to work.

I still cannot get it to take a time frame - so my report is always blank

Ian, how did you get the Since Count and Since Unit to stick.  I set it but it does not stick so when I get my report it has no total in it.

was doing better with a cron job

that is not my issue,

I get the email just fine.

but I don't get the info because the duration is 0, I cannot seem to get it to keep the 1 day.

This is very strange. The report I set up when I first tested this had reverted to 0 days ago when I checked again today but I did receive the e-mailed report during my test.

Could you please open up a service request for this issue? Something funny is going on here.

Use MCS profile to e-mail the reports is very restrictive, because you cannot define a time range as you want.

I write shell script using "psql" and predefined canned SQL-Script (/usr/local/avamar/lib/sql/.) to export report to a file and send email with preinstalled tool "sendEmail" to let crontab send me email regulary.
