Exporting NCM Backup Log

Question

I'd like to integrate the NCM backup logs into a Splunk dashboard, but I am having a lot of difficulties locating the log files or finding the backup details in the SQL database.  I need the job run date/time, asset name backed up, and success/failure status.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.  My network admin reviews the backup logs every morning, but my goal is to centralize all backup reporting and alerting via Splunk so the service desk can check backup status without having a logon to Orion when the Admin is away.

I don't have the links or file locations you need at the moment, but . . .

Until someone provides them to you, or until you discover them yourself, consider automatically running a Config Backup Report on a daily basis (if you're not already doing that).  It tells you the most recent status of each node's backup success or failure.

You may even find it's easy to automatically export or import it for Splunk's use.
