Log Server not creating backups

[mcapra]

If the snapshot shows up in the NLS GUI under "Backup & Maintenance", then you should be all set

It does, but the backup is still created in the local store, not on the mount

Can you show us what you mean by the backup being created in the local store.

Here you go (attached)

On the left would be the store with recent backups created by LOG.
On the right that extra mount I am trying to use for backups instead (but they are not saved in there - these were copied manually)

Where the actual backups (the .tar.gz) are created is hard-coded in our create_backup.sh script around line 12:

Code: Select all

BACKUP_DIR="/store/backups/nagioslogserver"

I would suggest altering that to match the new place you would like to keep the raw backups. The repositories created via the Nagios Log Server GUI only pertain to elasticsearch snapshots, not the raw backups created by our script.

The wording on the "Backup & Maintenance" page has confused a few different people. Rephrasing it and adjusting some visual elements is something that has been discussed internally.

This worked, thank you
Please close the case
