Learn the complete backup review workflow from email import to marking runs as reviewed.

</p>
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The backup review process in BackupChecks follows a structured workflow designed to ensure all backup issues are seen and handled appropriately. This page explains the complete lifecycle from email arrival to review completion.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>The Backup Review Lifecycle</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The review process consists of several stages:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Email Import:</strong> Backup report emails arrive in your mailbox and are imported into BackupChecks</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Parsing:</strong> Email content is analyzed to extract backup job information</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Inbox Approval:</strong> New jobs appear in the Inbox for initial approval and customer assignment</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Automatic Processing:</strong> Future emails for approved jobs are automatically processed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Daily Monitoring:</strong> Jobs appear in Daily Jobs view based on inferred schedules</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Run Review:</strong> Jobs with warnings or failures are reviewed using the Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Issue Tracking:</strong> Problems are documented using overrides, tickets, or remarks</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Mark as Reviewed:</strong> Runs are marked as reviewed after investigation</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Stage 1: Email Import & Parsing</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Backup report emails are automatically imported from your configured mailbox at regular intervals (default: every 15 minutes).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What Happens</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>BackupChecks connects to your mailbox via Microsoft Graph API</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>New emails in the configured folder are downloaded</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Email content is stored in the database</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Parsers analyze the email to extract structured backup information:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Backup software (e.g., Veeam, Synology)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Backup type (e.g., Backup Job, Replication Job)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Job name</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Overall status (Success, Warning, Failed)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Backup objects (VMs, servers, files) with their individual statuses</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='mail-import', page='auto-import') }}">Auto-Import Configuration</a> and <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='mail-import', page='mail-parsing') }}">Mail Parsing</a> for details.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Stage 2: Inbox Approval</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>When an email arrives for a job that hasn't been approved yet, it appears in the <strong>Inbox</strong>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What Happens</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The email appears in the Inbox table showing parsed information</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>You review the email to verify it's a legitimate backup report</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>You click the email row to view full details</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>You click <strong>Approve</strong> and select which customer the job belongs to</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A <strong>Job</strong> record is created in the database</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A <strong>JobRun</strong> record is created for this specific backup run</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The email disappears from the Inbox</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Future emails for this job are automatically approved without appearing in the Inbox</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='mail-import', page='inbox-management') }}">Inbox Management</a> for the detailed approval process.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Stage 3: Automatic Processing</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>After initial approval, future emails for the same job are processed automatically:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What Happens</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Email is imported and parsed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>BackupChecks identifies it matches an existing approved job (based on sender, job name, and backup software)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A new <strong>JobRun</strong> record is automatically created</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The email does NOT appear in the Inbox</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job run immediately appears in Daily Jobs and Job History</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Operators can review it without manual approval</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>

<strong>💡 First-Time Setup:</strong><br>
|

This page is under construction. Full content will be added in a future update.

The Inbox approval step only happens once per job. After that, all future reports for the same job are automatically processed. This is why it's important to approve inbox emails promptly when onboarding new customers.

<h2>Stage 5: Run Review</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>When a job shows a warning or failure, you review it using the <strong>Run Checks modal</strong>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What Happens</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on a job with a warning or failure in Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The Run Checks modal opens showing:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Recent runs for this job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Selected run details (objects, status, error messages)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Original email content</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Applied overrides</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Linked tickets and remarks</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>You investigate the issue by reviewing:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Which backup objects failed or have warnings</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Error messages for specific objects</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Full email body for additional context</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Historical runs to identify patterns</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>You determine the appropriate action (see Stage 6)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='backup-review', page='run-checks-modal') }}">Run Checks Modal</a> for detailed review instructions.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Stage 6: Issue Tracking</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Based on your investigation, you choose how to handle the issue:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Option 1: Mark as Reviewed (No Action Needed)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If the issue doesn't require followup:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>False alarms (email parsing issue, cosmetic warning)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>One-time glitches (temporary network hiccup, already resolved)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Acceptable warnings (retry succeeded, minor performance issue)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Action:</strong> Click "Mark as reviewed" in the Run Checks modal.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Option 2: Create an Override</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If the issue is expected and will occur repeatedly:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Known acceptable warnings (e.g., "Retry succeeded" is acceptable for this job)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Temporary planned issues (maintenance window for the next week)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Object-specific exceptions (one VM always has warnings due to configuration)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Action:</strong> Create an override on the Overrides page. Future matching runs will automatically show as success with an override indicator.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='backup-review', page='overrides') }}">Overrides & Exceptions</a> for details.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Option 3: Create a Remark</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If the issue needs documentation but not formal ticket tracking:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Temporary issues (customer notified, waiting for their action)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Known non-critical problems (cosmetic issue, low-priority warning)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Investigation notes (checked with customer, not actually an issue)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Action:</strong> Click "Create Remark" in the Run Checks modal. The remark is linked to the job and shows 💬 in Daily Jobs.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Option 4: Create a Ticket</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If the issue requires external followup and tracking:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Hardware failures (disk full, server offline)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Customer action required (upgrade software, allocate more storage)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Vendor support needed (backup software bug, licensing issue)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Action:</strong> Click "Create Ticket" in the Run Checks modal. The ticket is linked to the job and shows 🎫 in Daily Jobs.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='backup-review', page='remarks-tickets') }}">Remarks & Tickets</a> for tracking issues.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Stage 7: Mark as Reviewed</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>After handling the issue (or determining no action is needed), mark the run as reviewed:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What Happens</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Mark as reviewed</strong> in the Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The run is marked with a review timestamp</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The run disappears from the unreviewed list in Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job no longer appears highlighted in Daily Jobs (if all runs are reviewed)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A review audit record is created (visible to Admins)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Success Runs Don't Need Review:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Successful backup runs (green badges) are automatically considered reviewed. You only need to manually review warnings and failures.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Complete Workflow Example</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Here's how a typical backup review scenario unfolds:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Day 1: New Customer Onboarding</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:00:</strong> Customer's first Veeam backup email arrives</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:15:</strong> Auto-import runs, email appears in Inbox</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:30:</strong> You review Inbox, see new email from customer</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:31:</strong> Click on email, verify it's legitimate, click "Approve"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:31:</strong> Select customer from dropdown, confirm</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:31:</strong> Email disappears from Inbox, job is now active</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>09:32:</strong> Job appears in Jobs page and Daily Jobs for today</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Day 2: First Daily Review</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:00:</strong> Open Daily Jobs (defaults to today)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:01:</strong> Customer's job shows green "Success" - no action needed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:01:</strong> Continue reviewing other customers</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Day 5: Warning Appears</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:00:</strong> Open Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:01:</strong> Customer's job shows yellow "Warning"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:02:</strong> Click on job to open Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:03:</strong> Review backup objects - one VM shows "Retry succeeded"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:04:</strong> Read email body - retry was successful, backup completed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:05:</strong> Determine: This warning is acceptable</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:05:</strong> Click "Mark as reviewed"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:05:</strong> Job disappears from unreviewed list</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Day 8: Warning Repeats</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:00:</strong> Open Daily Jobs</li>
|

|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Day 15: Issue Resolved</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:00:</strong> Open Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:01:</strong> Customer job shows green "Success" with 🎫 indicator</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:02:</strong> Open Run Checks modal - confirm success for 2+ days</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:03:</strong> Go to Tickets page</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:04:</strong> Find ticket CUST-789, click "Resolve"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>08:05:</strong> 🎫 indicator disappears from Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Best Practices</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Review daily:</strong> Check Daily Jobs every morning to catch issues promptly</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Approve inbox emails quickly:</strong> New customer emails won't appear in Daily Jobs until approved</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Triage by status:</strong> Review red (Failed) before yellow (Warning) before gray (Missed)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use overrides for recurring acceptable warnings:</strong> Don't mark the same warning as reviewed every day</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create tickets for customer action items:</strong> Formal tracking ensures followup</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use remarks for temporary notes:</strong> Don't create tickets for short-term issues</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Always check backup objects:</strong> The overall status can be misleading - individual objects may have hidden failures</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Document in comments:</strong> When creating overrides or tickets, always explain why</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Resolve tickets promptly:</strong> After issues are fixed, resolve the ticket to clear the 🎫 indicator</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Monitor schedule inference:</strong> If jobs stop appearing in Daily Jobs, check if schedules have changed</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Role-Based Review Workflow</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review Daily Jobs for warnings and failures</li>

||||||
|
<li><strong>Batch approve inbox emails:</strong> Set aside time weekly to approve new customer jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create global overrides for common warnings:</strong> Handle widespread acceptable warnings once</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use tickets for tracking workload:</strong> Helps identify which customers have recurring issues</li>
|
||||||
|

<h2>Schedule Inference</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>BackupChecks automatically infers backup job schedules by analyzing historical run patterns. This eliminates the need to manually configure schedules for each job.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>How Schedule Inference Works</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The system examines the past 60 days of job runs to detect patterns:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Daily jobs:</strong> Jobs that run every day (or nearly every day)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Weekly jobs:</strong> Jobs that run on specific days of the week (e.g., every Monday, Wednesday, Friday)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Monthly jobs:</strong> Jobs that run on specific dates of the month (e.g., 1st and 15th of each month)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Schedule Display</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In the Schedule column, you'll see:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"Daily"</strong> - Job runs every day</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"Weekly: Mon Wed Fri"</strong> - Job runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"Monthly: 1st, 15th"</strong> - Job runs on the 1st and 15th of each month</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"Irregular"</strong> - No consistent schedule detected</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"-"</strong> - Not enough historical data to infer a schedule</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Learning Period:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Schedule inference requires at least 10-14 days of historical runs to detect patterns accurately. Newly approved jobs may show "-" or "Irregular" until enough data is collected.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Badges</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Jobs with active overrides display a small badge next to the job name. Overrides are used to handle known issues or exceptions (e.g., "treated as success due to known warning").</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To view override details:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Look for jobs with override badges in the Daily Jobs table</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on the job row to open the Run Checks modal (see next section)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The modal will show which overrides are applied to the job run</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Ticket and Remark Indicators</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Jobs linked to active tickets or remarks display indicator icons:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>🎫 Ticket icon:</strong> Job has one or more active tickets linked to it</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>💬 Remark icon:</strong> Job has one or more active remarks attached</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>These indicators help you quickly identify jobs with known issues or ongoing investigations.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Viewing Job Details</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To view detailed information about a job run:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on any job row in the Daily Jobs table</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The <strong>Run Checks modal</strong> opens, showing:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Job run details and status</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Backup objects (VMs, servers, etc.) and their individual statuses</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Applied overrides</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Linked tickets and remarks</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Original email content</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='backup-review', page='run-checks-modal') }}">Run Checks Modal</a> for detailed information about reviewing job runs.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Reviewing Jobs</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For jobs with warnings or failures, you can mark them as reviewed after investigating:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on the job row to open the Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the job details, objects, and any error messages</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Mark as reviewed</strong> to acknowledge you've investigated the issue</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job is marked as reviewed and removed from the unreviewed list</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Review Workflow:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Only jobs with warnings or failures need to be reviewed. Successful jobs are automatically considered reviewed. The Run Checks workflow is designed to help you quickly triage and acknowledge known issues.
|
||||||
|

<h2>Common Workflows</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Morning Backup Review</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
<li>Review the status column for any red (Failed) or yellow (Warning) badges</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on jobs with issues to open the Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Investigate the failure/warning details and backup objects</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Create a ticket or remark if followup is needed, or mark as reviewed if it's a known issue</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Repeat for all jobs with issues</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Checking Previous Day's Jobs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|

|
<li><strong>Review daily:</strong> Check the Daily Jobs view every morning to catch failures and warnings promptly</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Focus on failures first:</strong> Prioritize red (Failed) badges over yellow (Warning) badges during triage</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Watch for "Missed" jobs:</strong> These indicate a job that should have run but didn't - often more serious than a failure</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use overrides for known issues:</strong> If a specific warning is expected and acceptable, create an override instead of marking it as reviewed every day</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create tickets for recurring issues:</strong> If the same job fails repeatedly, create a ticket to track the ongoing issue</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Monitor schedule changes:</strong> If customers change their backup schedules, allow 10-14 days for the system to learn the new pattern</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Job Not Appearing in Daily Jobs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If a job doesn't appear on a date when you expected it:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job may not have enough historical data to infer a schedule (needs 10-14 days)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job may have an irregular schedule that doesn't match weekly or monthly patterns</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job's schedule may have recently changed, and the system hasn't detected the new pattern yet</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the <strong>Jobs</strong> page to verify the job exists and has recent runs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Schedule Shows "Irregular" or "-"</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"Irregular":</strong> The job runs inconsistently and doesn't match daily, weekly, or monthly patterns</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>"-":</strong> Not enough historical data to infer a schedule (fewer than ~10 runs)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Wait for more runs to be imported, then schedule inference will update automatically</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Job Shows "Missed" but Actually Ran</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check if the email was imported and approved (check <strong>Inbox</strong>)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify the email was parsed correctly and linked to the right job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the <strong>Job History</strong> page to see if the run was recorded</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If the run time changed significantly (e.g., moved from morning to evening), it may affect schedule detection</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Overrides</strong> are rules that modify how BackupChecks interprets backup job results. They allow you to handle known issues or expected warnings without manually reviewing every occurrence.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Common use cases:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Expected warnings:</strong> Mark specific warning messages as acceptable (e.g., "Retry succeeded")</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Known issues:</strong> Handle recurring problems that are being worked on (e.g., linked to a ticket)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Temporary exceptions:</strong> Create time-limited overrides for maintenance windows or planned issues</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Object-specific rules:</strong> Handle issues with specific backup objects (e.g., one VM that always has warnings)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Accessing Overrides</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To manage overrides:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Navigate to <strong>Overrides</strong> in the main navigation menu</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Available to <strong>Admin</strong>, <strong>Operator</strong>, and <strong>Viewer</strong> roles</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Viewers can see override rules but cannot create, edit, or delete them</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Operators can create and edit overrides, but cannot delete them</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Admins have full access to all override operations</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Levels</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Overrides can be created at two levels:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>1. Global Override</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Applies to all jobs matching specific criteria:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>All jobs:</strong> Leave backup software and type blank to match everything</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>By backup software:</strong> Match all jobs from a specific product (e.g., all Veeam jobs)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>By backup type:</strong> Match all jobs of a specific type (e.g., all Replication Jobs)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>By software + type:</strong> Match both criteria (e.g., Veeam Replication Jobs only)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Global overrides are useful for handling issues that affect multiple jobs across multiple customers.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>2. Object-Level Override</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Applies to a specific job or specific object within a job:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job-level:</strong> Select a specific job to apply the override only to that job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Object-level:</strong> Additionally specify an object name (VM, server, etc.) to match only that specific backup item</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Object-level overrides are more precise and are checked before global overrides.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Match Criteria</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In addition to level (global or object), overrides can match specific conditions:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Status Match</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Match only runs with a specific status:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Any:</strong> Match all statuses (default)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Success:</strong> Match only successful runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Warning:</strong> Match only runs with warnings</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Failed:</strong> Match only failed runs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Most overrides match "Warning" or "Failed" to handle known issues with those statuses.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Error Text Match</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Match based on error or warning message content:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<table>
|
||||||
|
<thead>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<th>Match Type</th>
|
||||||
|
<th>Description</th>
|
||||||
|
<th>Example</th>
|
||||||
|
</tr>
|

|
</thead>
|
||||||
|
<tbody>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td><strong>Contains</strong></td>
|
||||||
|
<td>Error message contains the specified text (case-insensitive)</td>
|
||||||
|
<td>"Retry" matches "Backup retry succeeded"</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td><strong>Exact</strong></td>
|
||||||
|
<td>Error message exactly matches the specified text</td>
|
||||||
|
<td>"Retry succeeded" only matches that exact phrase</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td><strong>Starts with</strong></td>
|
||||||
|
<td>Error message starts with the specified text</td>
|
||||||
|
<td>"Retry" matches "Retry succeeded" but not "Backup retry"</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td><strong>Ends with</strong></td>
|
||||||
|
<td>Error message ends with the specified text</td>
|
||||||
|
<td>"succeeded" matches "Retry succeeded"</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr>
|
||||||
|
</tbody>
|
||||||
|
</table>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Leave the error text field blank to match any error message (or no error message).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Actions</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Treat as Success</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The primary action for overrides is <strong>Treat as success</strong> (enabled by default):</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>When checked, matching runs are displayed with a green "Success" badge instead of their original status</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A small override indicator badge appears next to the job showing the override is active</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The run still needs to be reviewed, but operators know the warning/failure is expected</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This allows you to visually differentiate between unexpected problems (red/yellow) and known issues (green with override badge).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Time Windows</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Overrides can be time-limited using the <strong>From</strong> and <strong>Until</strong> fields:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>From Date (Start Date)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Leave blank to apply retroactively to all existing runs (default)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Set a date/time to apply only from that point forward</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Retroactive application ensures old unreviewed runs are also affected</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Until Date (End Date)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Leave blank for a permanent override (no expiration)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Set a date/time to automatically expire the override</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Useful for maintenance windows or temporary issues</li>
|
||||||
|

<strong>📝 Coming Soon:</strong>
|
<strong>💡 Retroactive Application:</strong><br>
|
||||||
This page is under construction. Full content will be added in a future update.
|
When you create an override without a start date, it is applied retroactively to existing unreviewed runs. This means jobs that match the override will immediately show the "Treat as success" status in Daily Jobs, even if they ran before the override was created.

|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Always Add Comments:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Use the Comment field to document ticket numbers, reasons, or planned resolution dates. This helps other operators understand why the override exists and when it should be removed.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Managing Existing Overrides</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The "Existing overrides" table shows all configured overrides with the following columns:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Level:</strong> "global" or "object"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Scope:</strong> What the override matches (e.g., "Veeam / Backup Job" or "CustomerName / Veeam / Backup Job / Daily Backup")</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>From / Until:</strong> Time window (blank = no restriction)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Active:</strong> Whether the override is currently active or disabled</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Comment:</strong> Documentation about the override</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Editing an Override</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click the <strong>Edit</strong> button on an override row</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The "Add override" form is pre-filled with the existing values</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Modify any fields</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Save override</strong> to update</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Cancel edit</strong> to discard changes and clear the form</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Disabling/Enabling an Override</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click the <strong>Disable</strong> button on an active override</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The override is marked as inactive and stops affecting job runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Enable</strong> to reactivate it</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Disabling is useful when you want to temporarily stop an override without deleting it (e.g., to test if an issue is resolved).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Deleting an Override (Admin Only)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click the <strong>Delete</strong> button on an override row</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Confirm the deletion</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The override is permanently removed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Existing runs that were affected by the override remain unchanged</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-warning">
|
||||||
|
<strong>⚠️ Deletion is Permanent:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Deleted overrides cannot be recovered. If you're unsure, disable the override instead of deleting it.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Override Evaluation Order</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>When a job run is evaluated, overrides are checked in the following order:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Object-level overrides:</strong> Most specific overrides are checked first (job + object name)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job-level overrides:</strong> Overrides for the specific job (without object name)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Global overrides:</strong> Least specific overrides are checked last</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The <strong>first matching active override</strong> is applied. If multiple overrides match, only the most specific one takes effect.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Common Override Scenarios</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Scenario 1: Veeam Retry Warnings</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A Veeam backup job frequently shows warnings like "Backup retry succeeded". This is acceptable - the job ultimately succeeded.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Create an object-level override:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Level:</strong> Object</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job:</strong> Select the specific job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Status:</strong> Warning</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error match type:</strong> Contains</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error text:</strong> "retry succeeded"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Treat as success:</strong> Checked</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Comment:</strong> "Retry warnings are acceptable for this job"</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Scenario 2: Planned Maintenance Window</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A customer is performing server upgrades next week. Backup failures during May 15-17 are expected.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Create a time-limited override:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Level:</strong> Object</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job:</strong> Select the customer's backup job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Status:</strong> Failed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>From:</strong> 2024-05-15 00:00</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Until:</strong> 2024-05-18 00:00</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Treat as success:</strong> Checked</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Comment:</strong> "Planned maintenance window - Ticket #12345"</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>After May 18, the override automatically expires and failures will appear normally.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Scenario 3: Known Issue with One VM</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>One VM in a multi-VM backup job consistently fails with "Snapshot timeout". A ticket has been created with the customer.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Create an object-specific override:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Level:</strong> Object</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job:</strong> Select the backup job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Object name:</strong> "SERVER01" (exact VM name)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Status:</strong> Failed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error match type:</strong> Contains</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error text:</strong> "Snapshot timeout"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Treat as success:</strong> Checked</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Comment:</strong> "Known issue - Ticket #67890 - Customer investigating"</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Other VMs in the same job will still show failures normally.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Scenario 4: Global NAKIVO Replication Warnings</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>All NAKIVO replication jobs show harmless warnings about "Network latency detected". This is expected for remote sites.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Create a global override:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Level:</strong> Global</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Backup software:</strong> NAKIVO</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Backup type:</strong> Replication Job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Status:</strong> Warning</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error match type:</strong> Contains</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Error text:</strong> "Network latency"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Treat as success:</strong> Checked</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Comment:</strong> "Network latency warnings are expected for remote site replication"</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Best Practices</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Start specific, then generalize:</strong> Create object-level overrides first. If the same issue affects many jobs, create a global override.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Always document:</strong> Use the Comment field to explain why the override exists and reference ticket numbers.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use time windows:</strong> For temporary issues, always set an "Until" date to avoid leaving stale overrides active.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Review periodically:</strong> Check the Overrides page monthly and remove overrides for resolved issues.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Be specific with error text:</strong> Use "Exact" or "Contains" with specific phrases to avoid overly broad matches.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Test before creating global overrides:</strong> Global overrides affect many jobs - test with object-level first.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Disable, don't delete:</strong> If unsure whether an override is still needed, disable it for a few days before deleting.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|

|

||||||
|
<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Override Not Applied to Job Run</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If an override doesn't appear to affect a job run:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify the override is <strong>Active</strong> (not disabled)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the time window - the run timestamp must be between <strong>From</strong> and <strong>Until</strong></li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify the match criteria - status, error text, and match type must exactly match the run</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the override level - object-level overrides must match the exact job and object name</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>For retroactive overrides, only unreviewed runs are affected</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Override Applying Too Broadly</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If an override is affecting more jobs than intended:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check if it's a <strong>Global</strong> override with no backup software/type specified</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the error text match - "Contains" matches anywhere in the message (use "Exact" for precision)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Consider creating a more specific object-level override instead</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Add status criteria to narrow the match (e.g., only match "Warning", not all statuses)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Multiple Overrides Conflicting</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Only one override is applied per run (the most specific match). If you have both global and object-level overrides that match:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The object-level override takes precedence</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review both overrides and decide which one should remain</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Remove or disable the less specific override</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Manage remarks and tickets.

Document known issues, track followup work, and link backup problems to tickets for resolution.

</p>
|
</p>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>BackupChecks provides two mechanisms for documenting and tracking backup issues:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Tickets:</strong> For issues requiring external followup (customer action, vendor support, hardware replacement)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Remarks:</strong> For internal notes, known issues, or temporary problems that don't need formal ticket tracking</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Both tickets and remarks can be linked to specific job runs, making it easy to track which backups are affected by known issues.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Accessing Tickets & Remarks</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To view and manage tickets and remarks:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Navigate to <strong>Tickets</strong> in the main navigation menu</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Available to <strong>Admin</strong>, <strong>Operator</strong>, and <strong>Viewer</strong> roles</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Two tabs are available:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Tickets:</strong> Shows all tickets with their resolution status</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Remarks:</strong> Shows all remarks with their resolution status</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||

<h2>Tickets</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What is a Ticket?</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A <strong>ticket</strong> represents an issue that requires tracking and followup. Tickets are used for:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Hardware failures requiring replacement</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Software bugs reported to vendors</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Customer action items (upgrade server, allocate more storage)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Configuration changes needed (adjust backup schedule, exclude specific files)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Ticket Properties</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

<h3>Creating a Ticket</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Tickets can be created from several locations in the application:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>From Run Checks Modal</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open the Run Checks modal for a job with a warning or failure</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the job run details</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Create Ticket</strong> (button location depends on UI implementation)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Fill in ticket details:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Ticket code:</strong> Enter a unique identifier (e.g., reference your PSA system)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Description:</strong> Briefly describe the issue</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Active from date:</strong> Select when the issue started (defaults to today)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The ticket is automatically linked to the current job run</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Scopes are automatically populated based on the job</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>From Tickets Page</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Tickets can also be created manually from the Tickets page (for issues not tied to a specific run).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Ticket Scopes</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A ticket can have multiple <strong>scopes</strong> defining what it affects:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Customer scope:</strong> All backup jobs for a specific customer</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Backup software scope:</strong> All jobs using specific backup software (e.g., all Veeam jobs)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Backup type scope:</strong> All jobs of a specific type (e.g., all Replication Jobs)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job scope:</strong> A specific backup job</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Job run scope:</strong> A specific backup job run</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Scopes are used to automatically show ticket indicators (🎫) on affected jobs in the Daily Jobs view.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

<h3>Linking Tickets to Additional Runs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Detailed content will be added here in a future update.</p>
|
<p>After creating a ticket, you can link it to additional job runs as they occur:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open the Run Checks modal for a job run</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Look for existing tickets in the ticket list (if available in UI)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Link the ticket to the current run</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This creates an audit trail showing all job runs affected by the same ticket.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Remarks</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>What is a Remark?</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A <strong>remark</strong> is a lightweight note for documenting known issues that don't require formal ticket tracking. Remarks are used for:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Temporary issues (planned downtime, maintenance windows)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Known non-critical warnings (acceptable performance issues, cosmetic problems)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Internal documentation (schedule change notes, customer preferences)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Quick notes during triage ("investigated, not an issue")</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

<h2>Ticket & Remark Indicators</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In the Daily Jobs view and Job History pages, active tickets and remarks are indicated with icons:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>🎫 Ticket icon:</strong> Job has one or more active tickets</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>💬 Remark icon:</strong> Job has one or more active remarks</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>These indicators help you quickly identify jobs with known issues during daily review.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Common Workflows</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Creating a Ticket for Recurring Failure</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Notice the same job failing in Daily Jobs for 3+ days</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click on the job to open Run Checks modal</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click <strong>Create Ticket</strong></li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Enter ticket code: "CUST-12345" (from your PSA)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Description: "Daily backup fails - server disk full"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Active from date: Select the date of the first failure</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Create the ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The job now shows 🎫 in Daily Jobs, indicating it's being tracked</li>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<li>Create the remark</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>On Friday, the job shows 💬, reminding you maintenance is planned</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>After Friday, resolve the remark</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|

<li><strong>Create tickets promptly:</strong> Don't wait for issues to escalate - create tickets when problems first appear</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use descriptive ticket codes:</strong> Reference your PSA system for easy correlation</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Set accurate "Active from" dates:</strong> This ensures the ticket shows on the correct historical runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Resolve tickets promptly:</strong> Don't leave stale tickets active after issues are fixed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use remarks for temporary issues:</strong> Don't create formal tickets for short-term problems</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Link tickets to multiple runs:</strong> As the same issue affects new runs, link them to the existing ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Review ticket list monthly:</strong> Identify long-running issues that need escalation</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use remarks for documentation:</strong> If you investigate an alert and determine it's not an issue, add a remark explaining why</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>

||||||
|
|

<h2>Integration with Autotask</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If Autotask integration is enabled, tickets can be automatically created in Autotask when backup failures occur. BackupChecks maintains internal ticket records linked to the Autotask ticket ID.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='autotask', page='overview') }}">Autotask Integration</a> for details on PSA ticket synchronization.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Ticket Indicator Not Showing on Job</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify the ticket is <strong>Active</strong> (not resolved)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the ticket's <strong>Active from date</strong> - it must be on or before the date you're viewing</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify the ticket scope matches the job (check customer, backup software, or job in the scope)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Refresh the Daily Jobs page</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Cannot Create Ticket or Remark</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify you have <strong>Admin</strong> or <strong>Operator</strong> role (Viewers cannot create tickets/remarks)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Ensure all required fields are filled (ticket code, description, active from date)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Ticket Scope Affecting Wrong Jobs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the ticket scopes on the ticket detail page</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Scopes may be broader than intended (e.g., customer scope affects all jobs for that customer)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Edit the ticket (if supported) or resolve it and create a more specific ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-warning">
|
||||||
|
<strong>⚠️ Ticket Editing:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Based on the code, ticket editing is currently disabled. To modify a ticket, resolve the old ticket and create a new one with the correct information.

<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Run List Filtering:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
By default, the run list shows only <strong>unreviewed runs</strong> for Operators. Admins can toggle "Include reviewed" to see all runs, including those already reviewed.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>3. Run Details (Right Side)</h3>
|
||||||

|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Object Availability:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Backup objects are only shown if the parser extracted them from the email. Not all backup software emails include object-level details. If no objects are shown, the parser didn't detect individual items in the email.
|

|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Email Content</h3>
|
||||||
|

<li><strong>Received at:</strong> When the email was received</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Download .EML</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If EML storage is enabled, a download button allows you to save the original email file for external analysis or support requests.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Autotask Ticket Information</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Ticket number:</strong> Autotask ticket ID (clickable link to open in Autotask)</li>
|
||||||

||||||
|
<strong>💡 Autotask Integration:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Autotask ticket information only appears if the Autotask integration is enabled in Settings and a ticket was created for this run. See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='autotask', page='overview') }}">Autotask Integration</a> for details.

<h2>Review Actions</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Mark as Reviewed</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For runs with warnings or failures:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the run details, backup objects, and error messages</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Investigate the issue and determine if action is needed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click the <strong>Mark as reviewed</strong> button at the top or bottom of the run details</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The run is immediately marked as reviewed and disappears from the unreviewed list</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Marking a run as reviewed indicates that you have acknowledged the issue and taken appropriate action (or determined no action is needed).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-info">
|
||||||
|
<strong>💡 Review Purpose:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
The review workflow helps ensure all warnings and failures are seen by a human operator. Success runs do not need to be reviewed - they are automatically considered reviewed.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Unmark Reviewed (Admin Only)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Admins can unmark a reviewed run if it needs to be re-investigated:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Enable the "Include reviewed" toggle to show reviewed runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Select a reviewed run from the list</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click the <strong>Unmark reviewed</strong> button</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The run returns to the unreviewed list</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This is useful if new information about an issue comes to light after the run was marked as reviewed.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="doc-callout doc-callout-warning">
|
||||||
|
<strong>⚠️ Admin-Only Feature:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
Only Admins can unmark reviewed runs. Operators can only mark runs as reviewed, not unmark them.
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Linking Tickets and Remarks</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>From the Run Checks modal, you can create and link tickets or remarks to document issues:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create Ticket:</strong> For issues that require external followup (e.g., customer action, vendor support)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create Remark:</strong> For internal notes or known issues that don't need ticket tracking</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>See <a href="{{ url_for('documentation.page', section='backup-review', page='remarks-tickets') }}">Remarks & Tickets</a> for detailed instructions.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Common Workflows</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Investigating a Failed Backup</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open the Run Checks modal from Daily Jobs (click on the failed job row)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The most recent run is automatically selected (the failure)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the <strong>Backup Objects</strong> table to see which items failed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the <strong>Message</strong> column for error details</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Scroll down to view the full email body for additional context</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If the issue requires followup, create a ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If it's a known issue or no action is needed, mark the run as reviewed</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Comparing Multiple Runs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open the Run Checks modal for a job with warnings</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Enable "Include reviewed" (Admin only) to see historical runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Click through runs in the left-side list</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Compare which objects failed/succeeded across different runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Identify patterns (e.g., same VM fails every time vs. intermittent failures)</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Reviewing Warnings with Overrides</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open a job with a warning badge from Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Notice the override indicator showing "Treated as success: [reason]"</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Review the backup objects to understand why the override was created</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If the override is still appropriate, mark the run as reviewed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If the override is no longer appropriate, edit or remove it on the Overrides page</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Troubleshooting Missed Jobs</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Open a job with "Missed" status from Daily Jobs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The Run Checks modal shows recent runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the timestamps to confirm the job hasn't run today</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Look for patterns in historical runs (e.g., consistently misses Mondays)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Create a ticket to investigate with the customer</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Mark the missed run as reviewed after creating the ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Best Practices</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Always check objects:</strong> Don't rely only on the overall status - individual objects may have failures hidden by retry logic</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Read error messages carefully:</strong> The Message column often contains specific details about why a backup failed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Review the full email body:</strong> Backup software often includes important details in the email that aren't captured in structured fields</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Create tickets for recurring issues:</strong> If the same job fails repeatedly, create a ticket instead of marking each run as reviewed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Use remarks for temporary issues:</strong> If a failure was caused by a known temporary issue (maintenance window, planned downtime), add a remark instead of creating a ticket</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Compare historical runs:</strong> Use the run list to identify whether an issue is new or recurring</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>No Backup Objects Shown</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If the Backup Objects section is empty:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The parser may not support object-level extraction for this backup software</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The email may not contain structured object information</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check the email body (scroll down) to see if object details are present in the raw email</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>This is normal for some backup software - not all products include object-level details in emails</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Email Body Shows "No message content stored"</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The email may have had blank HTML and text bodies when imported</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Check if EML storage is enabled - without it, email content can't be retrieved</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>This can happen if the email was forwarded or reformatted before import</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Can't Mark Run as Reviewed</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Verify you have <strong>Admin</strong> or <strong>Operator</strong> role</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Successful runs don't have a "Mark as reviewed" button - they're automatically considered reviewed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If the button appears grayed out, refresh the page - the run may have already been reviewed</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Run List Is Empty</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>By default, only unreviewed runs are shown</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Enable "Include reviewed" toggle (Admin only) to see all runs</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If no runs appear even with "Include reviewed" enabled, the job has no recorded runs - check the Inbox to see if emails need to be approved</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
- Completed Backup Review documentation section (5 pages):
|
||||||
|
- **Daily Jobs View**: Primary operational dashboard for monitoring backup operations, schedule inference from historical run patterns (weekly and monthly detection), status tracking (Success/Warning/Failed/Missed/Expected badges), missing job detection, override indicators with badges, ticket (🎫) and remark (💬) indicators, date selection with timezone support, job table columns (customer, backup software/type, job name, schedule, last run, status, reviewed checkmark for Admin only), schedule inference explanation (daily/weekly/monthly patterns, requires 10-14 days of data), override badges showing treated-as-success status, viewing job details via Run Checks modal, reviewing jobs (mark as reviewed for warnings/failures, successful jobs auto-reviewed), common workflows (morning review, checking previous days, identifying schedule changes), best practices (review daily, focus on failures first, watch for missed jobs, use overrides for known issues, create tickets for recurring issues), troubleshooting (job not appearing, schedule shows irregular/-, job shows missed but ran)
|
||||||
|
- **Run Checks Modal**: Detailed review interface for investigating backup job runs (opens from Daily Jobs or Job History), available to Admin and Operator roles only (not Viewer), modal layout with job header, run list (left side showing unreviewed runs by default, Admin can toggle "Include reviewed"), run details (right side showing status, backup objects table with name/type/status/message, email content in iframe with metadata and download .eml option, Autotask ticket information if integration enabled), review actions (Mark as reviewed for acknowledging issues, Unmark reviewed for Admin only), linking tickets and remarks from modal, backup objects table showing individual item statuses (objects only shown if parser extracted them), email body rendering (HTML with formatting, plain text as preformatted, sandboxed iframe for security), Autotask fields (ticket number, status, resolved origin, resolved at, deleted info with who/when), common workflows (investigating failures, comparing multiple runs, reviewing warnings with overrides, troubleshooting missed jobs), best practices (always check objects, read error messages carefully, review full email body, create tickets for recurring issues, use remarks for temporary issues, compare historical runs), troubleshooting (no backup objects shown, email body blank, can't mark as reviewed, run list is empty)
|
||||||
|
- **Overrides & Exceptions**: Override rules to automatically handle known issues and expected warnings, two override levels (global: by backup software/type affecting multiple jobs across customers, object-level: specific job or object within job checked first before global), match criteria (status match for any/success/warning/failed, error text match with contains/exact/starts_with/ends_with modes), treat as success action (enabled by default, displays green badge with override indicator instead of original status), time windows (From date optional for retroactive application to existing runs, Until date optional for permanent/temporary overrides), creating overrides (form with level/software/type/job/object/status/error match/time window/comment fields, retroactive application to unreviewed runs), managing overrides (existing overrides table showing level/scope/time/active/comment, Edit button to modify, Disable/Enable toggle, Delete for Admin only), override evaluation order (object-level first, then job-level, then global - first match wins), common scenarios with examples (Veeam retry warnings, planned maintenance windows, known issue with one VM, global NAKIVO replication warnings), best practices (start specific then generalize, always document with comments and ticket numbers, use time windows for temporary issues, review periodically, be specific with error text, test before global overrides, disable don't delete when unsure), troubleshooting (override not applied - check active status/time window/match criteria, override too broad - check global vs object level and error match type, multiple overrides conflicting - most specific wins)
|
||||||
|
- **Remarks & Tickets**: Two mechanisms for documenting issues (tickets for external followup requiring tracking, remarks for internal notes/known issues/temporary problems), accessing via Tickets page with two tabs (Tickets and Remarks tabs, filtering by status/customer/backup software/type/search), ticket properties (ticket code, description, active from date, start date, resolved at, scopes defining what it affects), creating tickets (from Run Checks modal or Tickets page, auto-linked to job run with scopes auto-populated), ticket scopes (customer/backup software/backup type/job/job run levels for automatic ticket indicators), viewing ticket details (status, code, dates, scopes list, linked runs last 20), resolving tickets (marks as resolved with timestamp, remains visible with ✅ indicator, 🎫 removed from job displays, Admin/Operator only), linking tickets to additional runs, remark properties (body freeform text, start date, resolved at, scopes), creating remarks (from Run Checks modal or Remarks tab, similar to tickets but simpler), viewing remark details (status, body, scopes, linked runs), resolving remarks (similar to tickets, 💬 removed from displays), filtering options (status active/all, customer, backup software/type, search by ticket code or job name), tickets vs remarks comparison table (when to use each), ticket/remark indicators (🎫 for active tickets, 💬 for active remarks in Daily Jobs and Job History), common workflows (creating ticket for recurring failure, adding remark for planned maintenance, resolving after customer action, reviewing historical tickets), best practices (create tickets promptly, use descriptive codes referencing PSA, set accurate active from dates, resolve promptly, use remarks for temporary issues, link to multiple runs, review monthly, use remarks for documentation), Autotask integration mention for automatic ticket creation, troubleshooting (indicator not showing - check active status and date and scope, cannot create - check role permissions, scope affecting wrong jobs - review scopes breadth), ticket editing currently disabled (resolve old and create new)

|
- **Approving Backups**: Complete backup review lifecycle workflow from email import to marking runs as reviewed, seven lifecycle stages (email import, parsing, inbox approval, automatic processing, daily monitoring, run review, issue tracking, mark as reviewed), Stage 1 Email Import & Parsing (auto-import from mailbox via Graph API every 15 minutes, parsers extract structured backup information), Stage 2 Inbox Approval (new job emails appear in inbox, review and approve with customer selection, creates Job and JobRun records, email disappears from inbox, future emails auto-approved), Stage 3 Automatic Processing (matching emails auto-create JobRun records, no inbox appearance, immediate Daily Jobs visibility), Stage 4 Daily Monitoring (schedule inference from patterns, status badges, overrides applied automatically, ticket/remark indicators shown), Stage 5 Run Review (click job in Daily Jobs to open Run Checks modal, investigate objects/errors/email content, determine appropriate action), Stage 6 Issue Tracking with four options (mark as reviewed for no action needed, create override for recurring expected issues, create remark for temporary/internal notes, create ticket for external followup), Stage 7 Mark as Reviewed (marks with review timestamp, disappears from unreviewed list, creates audit record, successful runs auto-reviewed), complete workflow example from Day 1 new customer onboarding through Day 15 issue resolved (showing real timestamps and decision points), role-based workflows (Operator: review/create tickets/remarks/overrides/mark reviewed, Admin: same plus view reviewed runs and unmark and delete, Viewer: read-only view Daily Jobs only), performance tips (use filters, review by exception with overrides, batch approve inbox, create global overrides for common warnings, use tickets for tracking workload, archive resolved tickets), best practices (review daily, approve inbox quickly, triage by status, use overrides for recurring warnings, create tickets for customer action, use remarks for temporary notes, always check objects, document in comments, resolve tickets promptly, monitor schedule inference)
