Restoring Centreon MBI¶

Restoring data from the Centreon MBI Server¶

The restore process is divided into several steps:

Reinstalling the centreon-bi-server module in the same version as the one saved
Integrating generated reports
Integrating custom reports settings
Integrating Centreon MBI configuration data
Integrating MySQL data
Deleting data extracted from the backup
Reinstalling the backup.

Reinstalling centreon-bi-server module in the same version as the one saved¶

On the main Centreon server run the following command:

# yum install centreon-bi-server-x.y.z

Integrating generated reports¶

Take the latest centreon-bi-front-reports-and-custom-conf-aaaa-mm-jj.tar.gz backup and extract it to the /tmp directory:

# cd /tmp
# tar xzf centreon-bi-front-reports-and-custom-conf-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz

Then copy the backed up reports:

# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/var/lib/centreon/centreon-bi-server/archives/* /var/lib/centreon/centreon-bi-server/archives

Note

If the directory is different than expected, the user has changed the default settings. Just specify the right path.

Change the rights for the files:

# chown -R centreonBI:centreonBI /var/lib/centreon/centreon-bi-server/archives

Integrating custom report settings¶

Take the latest backup in the format centreon-bi-front-reports-and-custom-conf-aaaa-mm-jj.tar.gz and extract it to the /tmp directory:

# cd /tmp
# tar xzf centreon-bi-front-reports-and-custom-conf-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz

Then copy the saved settings:

# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/usr/share/centreon/www/modules/centreon-bi-server/configuration/generation/xsl/* /usr/share/centreon/www/modules/centreon-bi-server/configuration/generation/xsl
# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/var/lib/centreon/centreon-bi-server/reports/infos/* /var/lib/centreon/centreon-bi-server/reports/infos

Change the rights for the files:

# chown -R apache:apache /usr/share/centreon/www/modules/centreon-bi-server/configuration/generation/xsl

Integrating Centreon MBI configuration data¶

Import the SQL backup using the command:

# mysql -u root -p centreon_storage < /tmp/var/backup/dump_centreon_storage.sql

Deleting the data from the extracted backup¶

Delete the extracted data from the backup:

# cd /tmp
# rm -Rf /tmp/usr
# rm -Rf /tmp/var

Restoring Centreon MBI Reporting Server settings¶

The restore process is divided into several steps:

Reinstalling centreon-bi-reporting-server module in the same version as the one saved
Integrating the CBIS configuration
Integrating the custom reports designs
Restarting the CBIS engine
Deleting the data from the extracted backup
Reinstalling the backup.

Reinstalling the centreon-bi-reporting-server module in the same version as the one saved¶

On the main Centreon server run the following command:

# yum install centreon-bi-engine-x.y.z

Integrating the CBIS configuration¶

Take the latest centreon-bin-reports-and-conf-aaaa-mm-jj.tar.gz backup and extract it to /tmp directory:

# cd /tmp
# tar xzf centreon-bin-reports-and-conf-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz

Then copy the settings:

# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/etc/centreon-bi/* /etc/centreon-bi

Integrating the custom reports settings¶

Take the latest centreon-bin-reports-and-conf-aaaa-mm-jj.tar.gz backup and extract it to /tmp directory:

# cd /tmp
# tar xzf centreon-bin-reports-and-conf-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz

Then copy the report designs:

# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/usr/share/centreon-bi/reports/* /usr/share/centreon-bi/reports
# chown -R centreonBI:centreonBI /usr/share/centreon-bi/reports
# /bin/cp -rf /tmp/usr/share/centreon-bi/Resources/* /usr/share/centreon-bi/Resources
# chown -R centreonBI:centreonBI /usr/share/centreon-bi/Resources

Integrating MySQL data¶

Stop the MySQL service:

# systemctl stop mysql

Remove the directory /var/lib/mysql from the reporting server:

# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

Extract the latest complete backup(created by default on Sunday):

# tar -xzf /var/backup/mysql-centreon_storage-bi-xxxx-xx-xx.tar.gz -C /

Extract all incremental backups created between the latest complete backup and the current date from the oldest to the most recent via the command:

# tar -xzf /var/backup/mysql-centreon_storage-bi-xxxx-xx-xx.tar.gz -C /

Change the rights on the directory /var/lib/mysql:

# chown -R mysql:root /var/lib/mysql

Start MySQL service:

# systemctl start mysql

Restarting the CBIS engine¶

Restart CBIS using the command:

# systemctl restart cbis
Stopping Centreon MBI scheduler : cbis
Waiting for cbis to exit .. done.
Starting Centreon MBI scheduler : cbis
Service started...

Delete the data from the extracted backup¶

Delete data extracted from the backup:

# cd /tmp
# rm -Rf /tmp/usr
# rm -Rf /tmp/var
