How to avoid log files included in email after completion

[dickmann]

Hi, I found that @saspus mentioned in one message that there is an option to avoid a detailed logfile with the names of all backuped file names is part of the “email after completion”. But I could not find the necessary duplicacy command. Any help or hint where to find this info is appreciated, thank you!

Background:
I am using healthchecks.io to receive emails after backups, but I do not want that service to see the files included in the backup…

Best, Michael

Remove logs from email

You can remove unwanted log messages from the email by adding their log ids to the Excluded Logs text field when configuring the email notification. The log id of a log message is the string after the log level. For instance in the follow log message the log id is REPOSITORY_SET: 2020-08-18 12:00:01.816 INFO REPOSITORY_SET Repository set to /Users/gchen/storage

Hi @saspus, thanks for the fast reply. But it feels something is missing. I understand your log message, but what part in your example is now your “log id”?

and how would I include multiple log files, do I use a “,” between the log ids? Or an “&” or just a space?

Would a command like this work?:
Excluded Logs “- /backuproot/*”

Still struggling

I found the answer in an old post:

It is the fourth field of a log message. For example, in the following log message, REPOSITORY_SET is the log id.

2020-02-16 23:18:02.367 INFO REPOSITORY_SET Repository set to /Users/gchen/AcrosyncTest/repository

So if you put REPOSITORY_SET in to the exclude log input, this log message will not be included in the email.

I just include now this in the GUI exclude log field and it works well:
REPOSITORY_SET STORAGE_SET

I found the answer in an old post:

Isn’t the same information present in the post I linked to, verbatim?

@Remove logs from email

For instance in the follow log message the log id is REPOSITORY_SET

Glad it’s works for you.
