Email Daily Maintenance Plan Report

Question

Im currently running a Maintenance Plan on SQL that do the following:

• 1 daily full backup

• Hourly transaction log backup

• 1 daily maintenance cleanup

On the reporting options I have it set up to send a report to an email recipient, so now Im getting an email hourly,

Is it possible to receive a summary email, for example at the end of the day with results of all the sub plans? Any suggestion on how to accomplish something similar?

Answer 2

We use a SSIS job to collect up all the job execution information off all our servers. This info is put in to a central repository and then a sql report sends us periodic reports.

You could also just run a query via a job and email yourself the results using the dbmail procedures. The dbmail procedure can take a query as a parameter. The sql code could also conditionally send only if there are failed jobs present.
