The Data Export page enables you to configure a server
to receive exported performance and configuration data. Use this procedure to
configure data export.
Select
Administration > Remote
Servers > Data
Export.
Enter a
Hostname.
See
Data Export elements
for details about the
Hostname field and other fields
that appear on this page.
Enter a
Username.
Enter a
Directory Path on the Export
server.
(Optional) Enter the
Path to Rsync on the Export
server.
Note:
Depending on the OS and implementation of the
remote server, it may be required to define the path to the rsync binary on the
export server but this is not common. If no path is specified, the username's
home directory on the export server is used.
Select whether to enable the transfer of the backup
file. To leave the backup disabled, do not check the box.
Select the
File Compression type.
Select the
Upload Frequency.
If you selected hourly for the upload frequency,
select the
Minute intervals.
If you selected daily or weekly for the upload
frequency, select the
Time of Day.
If you selected weekly for the upload frequency,
select the
Day of the Week.
If public keys were manually placed on the Export
server, skip to step 14.
Otherwise, click
Exchange SSH Key to transfer the
SSH keys to the Export server.
Enter the password.
The server attempts to exchange keys with the
export server currently defined on the page. After the SSH keys are
successfully exchanged, continue with the next step.
Click
OK to apply the changes or
Cancel to discard the changes.
The export server is now configured and
available to receive performance and configuration data.
You may optionally click
Test Transfer to confirm the
ability to export to the server currently defined on the page.
The user can monitor the progress of the task
by selecting the
Tasks drop down list in the page
control area.
