SSH Scheduled Backups failing

[psanchez]

I corrected the permissions on scheduledbackups.log

Is there a way to get a copy of the updated "Scheduled Backups" component sooner, instead of waiting until next release?

I'll let the jobs run tonight and report tomorrow.


So are these two things possible or not?

... enable verbose/debug logging of schedule backup job?

... a way to force run a manual schedule backup job from command line without scheduling via web interface?

... enable verbose/debug logging of schedule backup job?

No, just the current information reported is what can be reported.

... a way to force run a manual schedule backup job from command line without scheduling via web interface?

I do not believe so at this time as the php that does the backup source's in a number of other scripts and needs access to postgres. I will look into it though.

To perform a manual backup from the command line:

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh testbackup -d /store/backups/nagiosxi/

Where testbackup is the name you want to give the backup.

However this will not do anything in relation to deleting older backups, it just does the backup.

so after fixing the permissions on /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log, it is now being updated:

09-30-2014 07:43:56 ERROR: Scheduled SSH Backup Failed: File was not transferred successfully
10-01-2014 07:43:53 ERROR: Scheduled SSH Backup Failed: File was not transferred successfully
10-08-2014 08:12:12 ERROR: Scheduled SSH Backup Failed: File was not transferred successfully

I'm still also getting this error on other servers: WARNING: Scheduled SSH Backup Error: Temporary file nagiosxi.1412777461 could not be deleted


Thanks @Box293, but a schedule backup seems to be a little different, as it needs to do SCP/FTP transfer also.

Run the following commands on the Nagios XI box and show us the output:

Code: Select all

ll -d /store/backups/nagiosxi/
ll /store/backups/nagiosxi/
yum list installed | grep ssh2

To upgrade the "Scheduled Backup" component:

1. Download the file below:

scheduledbackups.zip

2. Don't install it as you would install a regular component! It will error out. Unzip it and copy over all of the contents of the "scheduledbackups" directory to: "/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/scheduledbackups/" directory, overwriting the original files. You can transfer files with FileZilla.

Important: Backup the original directory to a safe location first!

3. Go to Admin->Manage Components, and check the version of the "Scheduled Backups" component. It should be 1.0.6.

Let me know if using the new component solves your issue.

[psanchez]

Thanks for the zip file, I'll let it run tonight and post results tomorrow.

I ran the commands on all our 3 nagios xi instances, you'll see some old backups that were created manually a while back.

rhel-x86_64-server-6 is our local yum server, mirroring RedHat.

Great. We await your results.
