Configure Scheduled Log and Support Info Backups

This task explains how to establish an automatic, timed backup of your Log and Support Info output and send it to a push-receiver.

Push receiver configurations establish a connection to the SFTP server to which the Enterprise SBC pushes records. You can configure the Enterprise SBC to include copies of your log and show support-info output backup within these records.

To configure scheduled log file and show support-info output backups:

  1. Access the schedule-backup configuration element. 
    ORACLE# configure terminal
ORACLE(configure)# system
ORACLE(system)# system-config 
ORACLE(system-config)# select
ORACLE(system-config)# schedule-backup 
ORACLE(schedule-backup)#
  2. logs-backup—Access the logs-backup sub-element. 
    ORACLE (schedule-backup)# logs-backup
ORACLE(logs-backup)#
  3. admin-state—Enable or disable this backup feature. This parameter is disabled by default.
    • disabled(default)
    • enabled
  4. retry-interval—Specify the interval the system uses to determine when it tries to resend a configuration backup after an attempt fails. The range is 5 to 10 minutes and the default is 5 minutes.
  5. retry-count—Specify the maximum number of times the system tries to resend a configuration backup after prior attempts fail. The range is 1 to 3 retries and the default is 3 retries.
  6. push-failure-alarm—Enable or disable the generation of alarms and traps in case of any push-receiver failures. This alarm is of severity type Warning.
    • enabled (default)
    • disabled
  7. support-info-interval—Specify the number of hours between each stored show support-info output.
    • 3 (default)
    • Range is 1 to 48 hours
  8. all-logs-interval—Specify the number of hours after which the system creates another log package.
    • 12 (default)
    • Range is 1 to 48 hours
  9. include-all-logs—Enable or disable the system to include all logs in each log package in addition to the support-info output. When disabled, the system only backs up the support-info output.
  10. local-backups-count—Specify the number of packaged “show support-info” files to be maintained for rotation.
    • 5 (default)
    • Range is 1 to 24
  11. local-logs-backup-count—Specify the number of packaged “all logs” files to be maintained for rotation.
    • 5 (default)
    • Range is 1 to 12
  12. local-logs-dir-size—Specify the desired size (in KB) of the “/opt/archives/logs” folder to be maintained for storage.
    • 1024 MB (default)
    • Range is 512 to 2048 MB
  13. push-receiver—Access the push-receiver sub-element. 
    ORACLE(push-receiver)#
  14. address—Enter the IPv4 address of the push receiver to which you want records sent.
    • Default: 0.0.0.0
  15. username—Enter the username that the Enterprise SBC uses when it sends records to this server.
  16. password—Enter the password that the Enterprise SBC uses when it sends records to this server.
    ORACLE(push-receiver)# password 
Enter password: 
Retype password: 
Password updated
ORACLE(push-receiver)#
  17. data-store—Enter the absolute path on the remote server where you want the collected data placed.
  18. protocol—Enter the protocol used to push configuration data to the server.
    • sftp (default)

    Note:

    For SFTP to work, you must import the public key of the SFTP server into the Enterprise SBC. See the "Manage SSH Keys" in the ACLI Configuration Guide.
