I’ve done some googling online and I can’t seem to nail down whether or not I can setup a failed snapshot notification in Kopia UI. It seems like it is possible in the CLI version.
Is there a way to do this in Kopia UI? I searched through all of the policy settings and nothing seems to match up with that exact description. It would be great if I could get an email or even just a notifications from the app on my Mac / PC.
Thank you,
Hi @harrison !
You can configure Kopia to send emails, you can see the specification here: https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1958#issuecomment-2257422775
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like since I am using KopiaUI that system notifications should be triggered and won’t be configurable past the defaults:
“For the KopiaUI app there will be additional hidden profile and rule and all failure events will automatically bubble up as system popup notifications, this won’t be configurable.”
But it doesn’t state whether or not this is actually live in Kopia yet, I assume it is not…
This is available in Kopia. I am using the email notifications in 0.18.2
Is it available in KopiaUI as well? Do you know how to configure it or what area that lives in?
I only use the CLI personally. You’re going to need to test it or experiment. If you’re able to run the CLI commands you can set it up.
I can run them, was just hoping to keep this as simple as possible for future configurations.
Do you happen to have the CLI scripts you ran handy or off the top of your head?
Just what you see in the link I sent but with my email settings.
