Monitoring¶
Mnemosynce gives you two live views and a full history log to keep tabs on your backups.
Dashboard¶
Navigation → Dashboard
The dashboard is the default home after setup. It shows:
- Summary cards — total runs, successful runs, failed runs, time of last run
- Per-task table — run counts, success rate progress bar, last run timestamp
- Recent runs — the five most recent task runs with step-level badges (bak / ret / syn)
Readiness strip¶
When any of the four setup checks are still incomplete (config, SSH key, connection tested, schedule), a warning strip appears at the top of the dashboard with badge indicators and a direct link back to the relevant setup step.
Full history¶
Click Full history (top right of the dashboard) or the clock icon next to any task to see a paginated, filterable log of every run. Expand any row to see step-by-step timing and source/destination paths.
Progress view¶
Navigation → Progress
The progress view shows a live terminal feed of the current or most recent backup run using Server-Sent Events (SSE). The page updates automatically without any polling delay.
Status indicators¶
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
Running (pulsing blue) |
A backup is in progress |
Completed (green) |
Last run finished successfully |
Failed (red) |
Last run encountered an error |
No run yet (grey) |
No backup has been run |
Step badges (backup, retention, sync) show the state of each individual step in the same colour scheme.
Log output¶
The terminal panel streams log lines colour-coded by level:
| Colour | Level |
|---|---|
| White | Info |
| Yellow | Warning |
| Red | Error |
| Grey | Debug |
Use the autoscroll toggle (↓) to pause scrolling when inspecting earlier output. Click the trash icon to clear the display (does not delete the underlying logs).
Email reports¶
After every scheduled or manual run, Mnemosynce sends an HTML email to email_report summarising:
- Which tasks ran and whether they succeeded
- Elapsed time per task and per step
- Days since last successful run per task
- Attached log files for any failed steps
If email_admin is set to a different address from email_report, that address is CC'd on failure-only emails.
