Global Settings Backups stored location

Post by WVUhealth »

I am wanting to know where the Global systems configurations backups are stored as id like to ship them to a backup solution.

Im not talking about the database backup, instead im referring to the General , Global Settings system backups.

Since im on the subject.
Would this backup also store the Per Instance Input and Filters for all the members in my cluster as well ?

Found it .. *i think*
Backup script is /usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/create_backup.sh

Location of saved System backups is /store/backups/nagioslogserver

There are 3 tar.gz in that backup
kibana-int.tar.gz Holds all the Dashboards you have created are saved into the
nagioslogserver_log.tar.gz Holds auditing of system .. Like who queried what , Nagios Logger events like Global settings have been updated, backups completed .. "Things nag log has done"
nagioslogserver.tar.gz Hold System configurations *alerts , email templates, user accounts mappings

Im guessing too the job gets called from /etc/cron.d/nagioslogserver

/store/backups is where the backups for most Nagios products live. Everything else you observed is pretty on the money :)
