Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a `pve-devel` or rather a `pve-user` question, but since I'm developing against the Proxmox VE API I'm trying it here first.
I want to get a status for all configured backup jobs via the PVE API (those you can find below `cluster/backup/{id}/`). There I can see which VMs are being backed up and when the backup should take place but I can't see the status of the last backup (better would be last N). What I *can* see is a list of tasks which have been run on a given node, say `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status|log`. There I find an exit status and a console log: > INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 101 102 103 104 105 100 --compress lzo > --quiet 1 --storage QNAP --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --mailto > ***@**.com > INFO: Starting Backup of VM 100 (qemu) > INFO: Backup started at 2020-01-16 00:00:02 > INFO: status = running > INFO: update VM 100: -lock backup > INFO: VM Name: ****.**.tribe29.com > INFO: include disk 'scsi0' 'local-zfs:vm-100-disk-0' 60G > INFO: backup mode: snapshot > INFO: ionice priority: 7 > INFO: creating archive > '/mnt/pve/QNAP/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2020_01_16-00_00_02.vma.lzo' > INFO: started backup task 'd9f7c327-e610-4e38-931e-2251c9548e76' > INFO: status: 0% (319356928/64424509440), sparse 0% (115822592), duration 4, > read/write 79/50 MB/s > INFO: status: 1% (678428672/64424509440), sparse 0% (151867392), duration 7, > read/write 119/107 MB/s > INFO: status: 2% (1372258304/64424509440), sparse 0% (212226048), duration > 17, read/write 69/63 MB/s ... > INFO: status: 98% (63369576448/64424509440), sparse 85% (54797918208), > duration 164, read/write 399/86 MB/s > INFO: status: 100% (64424509440/64424509440), sparse 86% (55852843008), > duration 165, read/write 1054/0 MB/s > INFO: transferred 64424 MB in 165 seconds (390 MB/s) > INFO: archive file size: 4.53GB Relevant data I *could* get from here (by parsing the log): * VMID: 100 * started at 2020-01-16 00:00:02" * '/mnt/pve/QNAP/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2020_01_16-00_00_02.vma.lzo' * backup task 'd9f7c327-e610-4e38-931e-2251c9548e76' * 64424 MB * 165 seconds (390 MB/s) * archive file size: 4.53GB * exit status via `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status` What I'm missing: * a way to link `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}` to `cluster/backup/{id}` (for me `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status/id` is always empty) * I'm not sure whether the task I'm looking for is still there or if it has been cleaned up already * I have to parse the log manually which is error prone and might change in the future So is there a way for me to get information like this via the API directly:?
