Hi all,

At this moment we are running the community version. We want to setup a notification to our zabbix if there is an failed backup. Api, Webhook, snmp is all fine. I could not found a way i can implement this at the moment. Should we have an paid version for this? I could not find a feature list which version this can be include. Are are they other ways to accomplish this?

Does anyone has some idea's?

Hey, welcome to the forums.

The community version is full featured Unimus (Excluding our Compliance engine and some single sign-on features larger companies always seem to want)
You can see the break down here:

As for getting notified when a backup fails. We do support notifications through Email, Slack and Pushover. I am told you can get teams to work as well via emails. The notification system is currently getting an overhaul by the devs which will be made available in the next release or two. But I wouldn't make bets on a promise on a forum. Better to rely on what the product can do right now.

If you can have Zabbix poll Unimus' API, you would be able to get the most recent jobs by type or you can poll each device in Unimus and collect the job status:
this uses the older API v2

This uses the newer API v3

You could also collect the logs from Unimus that will also give you info on when jobs fail:
