I’m getting more and more reliant on using the Offsite Backups feature of OttoFMS to send backups to S3 storage.
Which makes me nervous, in a way. Is there any king of monitoring the copy of the file to the remote location, and raise some kind of alert / notification if the copy did not work as expected?
Hey James,
We currently have no way to do notifications for failed offsites. It gets logged in the otto-info.log file when they compete successfully, and a failed backup should also log an error.
With the advent of the notification system for the downloads in OttoFMS, we could probably add notifications for failed backups to the OttoFMS console. It would show up when you go to the page. Are you thinking of some sort of notification outside of OttoFMS (ie. Slack or a webhook)?

Hi Kyle - yeah, any kind of external trigger would be great. Webhook or Slack would both be workable. I guess web hook would be my preferred, for those of us who don’t use Slack.
Sounds good James, I’ll get that on our list. It will probably go in when we get webhook notifications for deployments into OttoFMS.
