Recovery Services Vault- Backup Alerts- Configure Notifications with PowerShell?

Iron Contributor

Hi,

Using Recovery Services Vaults to backup VMs in Azure, we can configure Backup Alert notifications using the portal- is there a way of doing this in PowerShell (or via API/ CLI...)?

 

Use case- we want to turn on email notifications on all our vaults, or update/add an email address.

@Chris Bradshawthis is not possible. Everyone needs it so i'm not sure why they haven't implemented this... probably not the thing you want, but have a look at the backup explorer: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/backup-explorer-now-available-in-preview/

 

also, you can export your data to Log Analytics and configure your alerts over there. This is possible with PowerShell!

Thanks for having a look @Jente_Vandijck 

I've been using Backup Explorer for other things, but unless I'm missing something you can't even see the notifications in that tool.

 

Log Analytics is an option, but I was hoping to leverage the notification tool that's built into the Recovery Service Vault for simplicity. It's a shame if that's just not supported (yet?) in PowerShell.

It's a shame if that's just not supported (yet?) in PowerShell < I've been waiting for this for over 2 years so I don't think this is coming .. (weird). Maybe a UserVoice will speed things up (https://feedback.azure.com/forums/258995-azure-backup).
