Check_MK Werk 0244: New features for WATO page Backup & Restore

by mkde

ID: 0244 Title: New features for WATO page Backup & Restore Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i1 H1:Introduction The entire monitoring environment with its configurations, performance data, historic data is a collection of files and folders. So if we want to create a snapshot of the current setup all we have to do is to pack these files into a tarball. This tarball can be applied on the same site (configuration rollback) or applied onto an other monitoring instance. H1:Snapshot backup domains Version <b class=new>1.2.4</b> introduces configurable snapshots. With this new feature you can select the components, also called backup domains, which should get included into the snapshot. Additionally you can provide a comment which is also stored in the snapshot. The following components are currently available <img border=0 src="bilder/extended_backup.png" width=617></a> As you see, some of them are enabled by default. Those default backup domains are included in automatically generated snapshots, which are created when you press the "Activate Changes!" button, for example. H1:Restoring snapshots Most of the time snapshots won't have all configurable backup domains included, but only the default configuration. Therefore we can't apply these snapshots like in previous version: <ul> <li>Remove all possible target files and directories</li> <li>Extract snapshot into the target directories</li> </ul> Now a snapshot is extracted in a more detailed manner: <ul> <li>Look into the snapshot and determine backup domains</li> <li>Remove all target files and directories only from these domains</li> <li>Extract each domain in its target directory</li> </ul> So if we have a snapshot containing only "Automatically detected services", no other directories than the autochecks directory will be emptied upon application. You can find more detailed information about each backup domains files and directories in the following chapter. <b>Important:</b><br> Keep in mind that whenever a backup domain is restored, any of its current data is completely removed.<br> If you restore a snapshot containing "Performance Data" for example, all recent performance data is lost. H1:Configuration details The following four backup domains are the <b>default domains</b>.<br> When you press the "Activate Changes!" button, these domains are automatically included into the snapshot.<br> <ul> <li>Hosts, Services, Groups, Timeperiods, Business Intelligence and Monitoring Configuration</li> This incluces all configuration files generated by WATO and check_mk.<br> Path prefix: <tt>defaults.default_config_dir</tt> <table style='width: 250px'><tr><th width=50>Type</th><th>Relative Path</th></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>liveproxyd.mk</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>main.mk</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>final.mk</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>local.mk</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>mkeventd.mk</td></tr> <tr><td>Directory</td><td>conf.d</td></tr> <tr><td>Directory</td><td>multisite.d</td></tr> <tr><td>Directory</td><td>mkeventd.d</td></tr> <tr><td>Directory</td><td>mknotifyd.d</td></tr> </table> <br> <li>Personal User Settings and Custom Views</li> The users bookmarks, views, viewoptions, current state of foldable elements and more.<br> Path prefix: <tt>defaults.var_dir</tt> <table style='width: 250px'><tr><th width=50>Type</th><th>Relative Path</th></tr> <tr><td>Directory</td><td>web</td></tr> </table> <br> <li>Local Authentication Data</li> Anything the user needs for the authentication in multisite<br> Path prefix: dirname of <tt>defaults.htpasswd_file</tt> <table style='width: 250px'><tr><th width=50>Type</th><th>Relative Path</th></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>htpasswd</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>auth.secret</td></tr> <tr><td>File</td><td>auth.serials</td></tr> </table> <br> <li>Event Console Configuration</li> The status of the event console and its configuration.

Check_MK Werk 0437: Convert WATO rule for debug_log into simple Checkbox

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 0437 Title: Convert WATO rule for debug_log into simple Checkbox Component: WATO Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i1 Do you know the plugin output <i>invalid output from agent, invalid check parameters or ...</i>? The option for debugging such failed checks has been converted from an absolute path to a simple Checkbox. The target path for the log file is now hardcoded and will be printed by the failed check in the plugin output. Existing configuration will not be touched, though, and honor the configured path - as long as you do not change the option via WATO. <tt>main.mk</tt> still allows the old way: F+:main.mk # Hard code path to log file debug_log = "/var/log/foo.log" # Simply enable and use standard path debug_log = True # Disable debug_log = None # New way to disable debug_log = False F-:
