v0.1.8

Overview

This release focuses on making job matching and auto-approval behavior fully consistent across manual inbox actions, automatic mail imports, and the “Re-parse all” process. It also fixes a critical backend startup issue introduced in the re-parse logic.

Key Changes

  • Introduced a single, shared job-matching helper based on a full unique key:
    • From address
    • Backup software
    • Backup type
    • Job name
  • Updated manual inbox approval to reuse existing jobs when the unique key matches, instead of relying on customer-only matching.
  • Aligned inbox “Re-parse all” auto-approve logic with the same shared matching behavior.
  • Fixed automatic mail import auto-approve so it correctly:
    • Creates a JobRun
    • Marks the mail as approved
    • Moves the mail to history when a matching job exists

Re-parse All Improvements

  • Auto-approve is now executed during “Re-parse all”, not only on initial mail import.
  • After re-parsing, all successfully parsed mails without a linked job are re-evaluated against existing jobs using the full unique key.
  • When a matching active job with auto-approve enabled is found:
    • The mail is automatically approved
    • The mail is linked to the job
    • The mail is moved to history
    • A corresponding job run is created and shown in Job History

Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where “Re-parse all” previously only updated parse metadata and skipped auto-approve logic, causing historical mails not to appear in job history.
  • Fixed a SyntaxError in the re-parse auto-approve logic that caused backend startup failures (Bad Gateway).
  • Corrected try/except structure and indentation to ensure re-parse auto-approve runs safely per mail without breaking the overall process.

Result

  • Job matching and auto-approval behavior is now consistent across all mail processing flows.
  • Historical mails are correctly linked to jobs and visible in job history.
  • Backend stability during startup and re-parse operations is restored.

  • Enhanced resilience against case differences, whitespace, unicode characters, and hidden formatting issues.
  • Iteratively refined normalization strategy:
    • Ultimately simplified matching to rely primarily on a normalized From address, while ensuring parser-consistent values for Backup, Type, and Job Name.
  • Ensured deterministic behavior during reprocessing by preventing mutation of message data.

Stability Fixes

  • Fixed multiple crashes and approval errors caused by undefined or incorrect job name handling.
  • Resolved issues with duplicate job records (including NULL customer IDs) that previously blocked auto-approval.
  • Ensured consistent JobRun creation and mail linking during automatic imports and re-parsing.

  • Increased logging table width to better fit a 1080p layout.
  • Fixed column layout so all columns remain in consistent positions regardless of content length.
  • Updated status styling to use colored text only within the status column (Success, Warning, Error/Failed, Missed), including clear differentiation for overrides.
  • Fixed JavaScript errors in the Daily Jobs popup that prevented rendering.

Jobs & Daily Jobs Enhancements

  • Standardized default sorting for both Jobs and Daily Jobs tables (Customer → Backup → Type → Job name).
  • Persisted the Daily Jobs start date setting in the database and ensured it reloads correctly in the Settings UI.
  • Corrected missed-status calculation to start from the configured Daily Jobs start date.
  • Improved Daily Jobs table readability:
    • Moved the number of runs into a dedicated Runs column.
    • Prevented layout shifting caused by variable text in the Last result column.
    • Restored the original Runs visual representation and adjusted placement for better readability.
    • Reduced the Last result column width so only status text is shown and the Runs column remains visible.

Parsing & Data Normalization

  • Stripped retry suffixes like “(Retry 1)”, “(Retry 2)”, etc. from job names so retries don’t create separate job identities.
  • Extended the NAKIVO parser to support VMware Replication job emails:
    • Detects job type (Backup vs Replication) based on email content.
    • Improves replication job name parsing.
    • Extracts VM names from the Objects/Virtual Machines section.
    • Maps overall job status correctly for replication reports.

Tickets & Remarks (New Feature Area)

  • Added database schema for globally unique, persistent tickets linked to job runs for long-term reporting:
    • New tables: tickets, ticket_scopes, ticket_job_runs.
    • Ticket codes are globally unique using format TYYYYMMDD.NNNN.
    • Tickets require at least one customer scope.
  • Added database schema for remarks with scoped attachment and persistent linkage to job runs:
    • New tables: remarks, remark_scopes, remark_job_runs.
  • Implemented a new Tickets page with tabbed navigation (Tickets / Remarks):
    • Overviews with filtering.
    • Detail views showing scopes, linked job runs, and actions.
    • Added indicators in Daily Jobs to show active tickets and/or remarks.
    • Added ticket/remark management in the job run popup (create, edit, resolve).
    • Introduced consistent icons for tickets, remarks, actions, and status indicators.
  • Added backend API endpoints for listing/creating/updating/resolving/linking tickets and remarks, plus an endpoint to retrieve all alerts for a specific job run.

v0.1.2

This release focuses on improved parser support, more robust data cleanup, and a fully reworked in-app logging and object persistence system.

Parser & support

  • Extended the Synology Hyper Backup mail parser with proper recognition of Strato HiDrive backups.
  • Added support for parsing job names from the “Backup Task:” field for Strato HiDrive.
  • Correct handling of successful runs without listed objects.
  • Added a Strato HiDrive example to the parser templates for validation and reference.

Administration & cleanup

  • Introduced an admin-only action to delete all jobs in a single operation.
  • Ensured related run mails are moved back to the Inbox when jobs are deleted.
  • Fixed foreign key constraint issues by enforcing the correct deletion order:
    • run_object_links first
    • job_object_links next
    • then job runs and jobs
  • Stabilized the “Delete all jobs” action to fully clean up all related data.

Logging (reworked)

  • Moved logging away from container/stdout logging to in-app logging.
  • Introduced AdminLog-based logging for:
    • Mail import
    • Auto-approval
    • Manual job approval
    • Job deletion
  • Added detailed logging per imported and auto-approved email.
  • Added summary logging at the end of each mail import run.
  • Ensured all relevant events are logged exclusively via the AdminLog table and visible on the Logging page.

Object persistence

  • Restored persistence of parsed objects after manual approval of inbox mails.
  • Restored persistence of parsed objects during auto-approval (reparse-all).
  • Ensured objects from approved mails are:
    • Upserted into customer_objects
    • Linked to jobs via job_object_links (with first/last seen tracking)
    • Linked to runs via run_object_links (with status and error details)
  • Added centralized helper logic to ensure consistent object persistence.
  • Added an admin-only maintenance action to backfill missing object links for already approved runs.
  • Object persistence failures no longer block mail approval.
  • Daily Jobs and Run detail views correctly display objects again for both new and historical runs after backfilling.
