Router Configs backup how many time for week?

[apereira]

Hello,
I have installed the RouterConfigs, but I force a back 11th of the last week... now I've checked and still have the same backup, the RouterConfigs dont made none backup automaticly.

What I need to configure to run the backups 1 time for day? Like all days at 00 hours?

If is a crontab configuration, what is the command line to backup all actives devices?


Thanks,
Anderson.

Has anyone managed to run routerconfigs plugin automatically?
I am stuck on this problem and I havent seen any answer... When I force a backup manually, I get the plugin running properly, but never automatically. Should I configure something manually in the cron? (like php /cacti/plugins/routerconfigs/router-download.php ???)

Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever figured out that? No automatic backups.

It would be nice if I could run the backuping script automatically, either a) on scheduled time, say nightly; or b) each time a configuration change is detected.


Thanks!

Thanks, this solved the problem. However, it still seems that it's something wrong with the plugin itself. It doesn't make any entries in log file; neither cacti.log nor syslog. (I checked both but I use cacti.log).

It seems the recording status during scheduled backup is dependent on Cacti's logging level.
See 'Settings -> Poller Logging Level'.

My logging level is set to LOW - Statistics and Errors. I dunno why but I still expected it to save at least a few information lines about the plugin.

However, it seems that running the update command mentioned in another thread corrects the problem only once:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `settings` SET `value` = 0 WHERE `name` = 'plugin_routerconfigs_running';

After RouterConfigs makes one backup cycle the plugin_routerconfigs_running value stays at '1' and I need to manuallu update the MySQL again. Any ideas about how to set the value back to 0 after backups were made so it will make the 2nd, 3rd, ... Nth backup again?

Thanks!

Does anyone found solution for problem of not running automatically jet?

We too are experiencing a problem with the automatic backups. The plugin_routerconfigs_running keeps getting set to 1 and once that gets stuck, no more backups will occur. I found the bug and fix at http://209.189.228.151/bugs/print_bug_p ... bug_id=137 - I implemented the change and have to wait until tomorrow to see if it fixes the issue.

I found the original post on the guy's blog at http://abdulet.net/?p=140. I had to translate it to English to figure out what it was talking about - but it makes sense and I'm hoping this resolves the issue once and for all.

The file in question is the router-download.php, in a return line 66 found himself inside a else as well
If (! Empty ($devices)) {
.
.
.
} else {
Return;
}
To solve the problem the else should be the other way
} else {
DB _ execute ("replace into settings (name, value) values ('plugin _ routerconfigs _ running', 0));
Return;
}

2、mysql> use cacti;
mysql> update settings set value=0 where name='plugin_routerconfigs_running';

I have tested,it's ok
