Enable Proxmox backup report emails
Configure email notifications for backup jobs in Proxmox VE so that each run sends a report.
Proxmox Backup Email Monitoring - All Nodes in One Dashboard
Proxmox VE already emails a report for every backup job. BackupMonitor turns those emails into one dashboard across all nodes and clusters.
Every Proxmox node and every backup job reports separately. With several clusters and customers, the daily report emails pile up fast: a failed VM backup hides between dozens of successful ones, and a node that silently stops sending reports goes unnoticed.
BackupMonitor collects all Proxmox report emails in one mailbox, detects node, job and status automatically, and treats missing expected reports as errors.
Set up in three steps
Send them to BackupMonitor
Add your personal BackupMonitor address as a recipient, or forward the reports with a mail rule. Nothing is installed on the nodes.
Dashboard & missing-mail alerts
BackupMonitor detects node, job and status from each report. If an expected report does not arrive, it is flagged as an error.

Supported Proxmox reports
BackupMonitor ships with parsers for these Proxmox report formats:
- Proxmox VE backup job reports (vzdump)
- Custom Proxmox scripts via the REST ingest API (curl)
FAQ
Which Proxmox emails does BackupMonitor understand?
Backup job report emails from Proxmox VE. If your Proxmox emails look different - for example from Proxmox Backup Server - contact us, we add parsers regularly.
Do I need to install anything on the nodes?
No. BackupMonitor only reads the report emails Proxmox already sends. Alternatively, your own scripts can push status via curl to the REST ingest API.
What if a node stops sending reports?
Missing expected reports are treated as errors. A node that silently stops reporting shows up as a problem on the dashboard instead of going unnoticed.
Does this work with multiple clusters and customers?
Yes. All reports arrive in one mailbox, and nodes can be organized into groups per customer or site. BackupMonitor is built for MSPs managing many environments.
