Synology Hyper Backup → Uptime Kuma Notification

A simple script to notify Uptime Kuma when a Synology Hyper Backup task completes successfully.

Setup

1. Create a Push Monitor in Uptime Kuma

  • Add a new monitor with type Push
  • Set Heartbeat Interval to 90000 (25 hours) for daily backups
  • Copy your Push URL

2. Create a Scheduled Task in DSM

  1. Open Control Panel → Task Scheduler
  2. Create → Scheduled Task → User-defined script
  3. Set User to root
  4. Set Schedule to run daily, ~30 minutes after your backup typically finishes
  5. In Task Settings, paste the script (update the URL and task name)

What It Does

  • Checks today's Hyper Backup log for a successful completion
  • Sends a push notification to Uptime Kuma with backup stats
  • Message includes: files scanned, new files, modified files, and start/end times

Example Output

88 scanned, 2 new, 10 mod (04:00:02-04:11:45)
