E A S Y question!

fellas!
how do I change this script:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh

so that it excludes the perfdata directory (I don't want to include the perfdata in my backup)? (and don't say "Google" spence...

The Trevor will say it: Google!

You'll just need to exclude the directory you want. Are you looking to exclude the RRDs or the unprocessed perfdata?

Also, update your signature. Seeing 1.6 is making me uneasy.

Update yo' signature! R1.6?

[slansing]

I'd also recommend that you update your signature

1.6? man time to update that nagios box!

[benhank]

alright alright sheesh....

its this one

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata

it's 39 gigs over here!

[abrist]

In /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup-xi.sh, change line #84 from:

Code: Select all

tar czfps $mydir/nagios.tar.gz /usr/local/nagios

To:

Code: Select all

tar czfps $mydir/nagios.tar.gz tar --exclude='/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata' /usr/local/nagios

That should help keep the size of the backup down. If you care about the perfdata, just tar it up every once in a while and overwrite the old perfdata tar.

You really should think about moving to windows me for the personal touch or os/2 warp for the street cred.
