Job Filter

A job filter allows you to filter jobs by different parameters. For example, you can create a filter that will show only VM backup copy jobs.

Creating Job Filters

To create a filter, do the following:

  1. Open the Home view.
  2. In the inventory pane, select the Jobs node. At the top of the working area, click the filter icon Job Filter ant then Add new. Alternatively, right-click the Jobs node and select Add view.
  3. In the Add View window, specify a filter name. The name must be up to 200 characters long.
  4. If you want to show this filter as a subnode of the Jobs node in the inventory pane, select the Add this view to the job management tree check box.
  5. In the Workload section, select workloads which jobs must process:
  • Application — Veeam Backup & Replication will show Veeam Plug-in jobs and jobs in which SQL transaction log backup, Oracle archive log backup or PostreSQL WAL files backup is enabled.
  • Cloud VM — Veeam Backup & Replication will show jobs that process VMs stored in clouds.
  • File — Veeam Backup & Replication will show jobs that process files.
  • Server — Veeam Backup & Replication will show Veeam Agent jobs that process servers. For more information on processed computer types, see Selecting Protected Computer Type.
  • Workstation — Veeam Backup & Replication will show Veeam Agent jobs that process workstations. For more information on processed computer types, see Selecting Protected Computer Type.
  • VM — Veeam Backup & Replication will show jobs that process VMs.
  1. In the Job type section, select job types:
  1. In the Last result section, select statuses with which jobs must finish: Success, Warning or Failed.

Jobs that that have never started are considered as Failed.

  1. In the Status section, select states of jobs: Running, Inactive or Disabled.

Backup copy jobs in the Idle state are considered Inactive.

  1. If you want to show jobs with manually set High priority flag, select the High priority job check box. For more information on job priorities, see Job Priorities.
  2. If you want to show jobs that were inactive for some period of time, select the Last run is over N days ago check box and specify the period in days.
  3. If you want to show jobs whose names include specific keywords, select the Job name includes check box and enter keywords.

To show jobs that include any of the specified keywords, separate these keywords by a semicolon without a space. For example, if you enter "Backup Job;Daily", Veeam Backup & Replication will show all jobs that include "Backup Job" or "Daily" keywords in their names.

Note

Only the user who creates filters can access them — that is, other users cannot use these filters.
