How does email_summary work?

Support
#1

I don’t see any reference to “email_summary” on the forum yet. I tried setting it to ‘true’ in duplicacy.json but i didn’t see any difference in the email i was sent

edit turns out the emails don’t even send when i changed email_summary: ‘true’

edit2 turns out i didn’t log back into the UI after restarting with the the summary config enabled so the passphrase wasn’t cached. I’ve added the DWE_PASSWORD environment variable to my container and i’ll retest pls ignore me for now.

edit3 with the DWE_PASSWORD sorted, my backup did run on schedule and the email i was sent was exactly the same as previous emails regardless of email_summary either true or false. is it possible that this variable doesn’t do anything in the current version?

#2

Right, this variable has no effect currently. It was supposed to send out a short summary in the email but it never got implemented.

I think the report for each job (Send report to https://) provides a good summary:

{"computer":"[redacted]","directory":"[redacted]","end_time":1596150182,"new_chunk_size":0,"new_chunks":0,"new_file_chunk_size":0,"new_file_chunks":0,"new_file_size":0,"new_files":0,"new_metadata_chunk_size":0,"new_metadata_chunks":0,"result":"Success","start_time":1596150173,"storage":"[redacted]","storage_url":"b2://[redacted]l","total_chunk_size":6442450944,"total_chunks":6147,"total_file_chunk_size":6442450944,"total_file_chunks":6144,"total_file_size":6442450944,"total_files":2,"total_metadata_chunk_size":460800,"total_metadata_chunks":3,"uploaded_chunk_size":0,"uploaded_file_chunk_size":0,"uploaded_metadata_chunk_size":0}

Does email_summary work yet? It sure would be nice if the notification emails were trimmed down some.

#6

Solution here: Email report is very verbose by default, can i reduce that?
