I've got Pulseway installed on a number of servers and it notify's nicely if a backup is successful or fails, but I've a couple of instances when a backup hasn't even tried to run so has neither failed or succeeded. I've noticed a number of posts requesting a feature for Pulseway to generate an alert when no backup activity has been detected in X number of days. Has this been looked at?

Is this possible?

Can this be developed please?

Thank you

Hi Sean,

This is going to come in the future. I've also replied here:

Thanks Paul,

The original post i replied to was posted in 2015 so can you tell me whether development has started yet?

Also when we started our Pulseway subscription we were told development was for Backup Exec was on the cards, do you know whether this has been started yet?

 

Hi Sean,

We didn't start working on the report / notifications for Windows Server Backup yet. Symantec Backup Exec is part of our Roadmap and it wasn't started either however it's on our wishlist of backup software to be integrated with once we finalize the addons framework in this quarter allowing us to deploy, configure and integrate with further projects at a much faster pace.

Hi Paul,

please open the Addon Framework for external developers. The Client Plugins are very limited at the Moment.

I have tons of ideas on how to extend Pulseway that are only limited by the limited featureset of the plugin Interface.

Hi Dilbert,

This will not happen during the first release I'm afraid. Can you please list the features you feel that are missing from the plugins?

Hi Paul,

there are a lot of simple things:

- Groups don't have customizable icons

- Custom icons would be great

- Searchable lists like in the WSUS module

- I have just numeric group identifiers. This makes it very difficult to pass data from the Details page to a group page. I can't pass something different than a number.
