CPPM Backups on event viewer

    Posted Apr 01, 2019 11:46 AM

    Hi,

     

    We have configured a File backup server, but we have checked that there is no files on that server. Is there any way to filter events related to Backup on the CPPM Event Viewer? We want to discard any issue on CPPM.

    Regards,

    Alfred H.

    Do you want to transfer clearpass backup files to external FTP server automatically, if this your requirment then you have to follow below steps

     

    Download the rpm and install it on your external server

     

    1.Download the External Data Puller application from our FTP site

     

    Location: http://support.arubanetworks.com/DownloadSoftware/tabid/75/DMXModule/510/EntryId/11857/Default.aspx

     

    2.Install the 'rpm' file on a Linux system by issuing the following command:

    rpm -Uvh <filename>

    We have tested the installer with CentOS 6.6 versions. Installer should be compatible with any Linux distributions supporting RPM installations.

     

    3.The configuration directory of the application is

    /usr/local/avenda/datapuller/etc

     

    4.After the installation, edit the "datapuller.conf" in the configuration directory to provide the following details :

    -- eTIPS/CPPM Server IP Address (only one node in the cluster is required)

    -- Administration username [UI username 'admin']

    -- Administration password

     

    If required create a separate External Data Puller Service account with Super Administrator privileges on the eTIPS Administration.

    1. Restart the "avenda-ext-backup" Service.

    /sbin/service avenda-ext-backup restart

     

    6.Once the service is up and running, it downloads the configuration backup files from the eTIPS clusters and stores them in the following directory.

    "/var/avenda/datapuller/downloads/config-info/"

     

     

    We can edit the frequency of datapuller in below file, default it is 720 minutes (12hours) Every 12 hours, external server pull the backup file

     

    [root@localhost config-info]# vi /usr/local/avenda/datapuller/etc/datacollector.conf

     

    [collector_session-info]

    url=/activitydumpservice/ActivityDump?orderBy=desc

    enabled=1

    frequency=60

    download-location=/var/avenda/datapuller/downloads/session-info

     

    [collector_config-info]

    url=/activitydumpservice/ActivityDump?type=config-info&orderBy=desc

    enabled=1

    frequency=720----change to 43200 (30days) if you want to pull every 30 days once.

    download-location=/var/avenda/datapuller/downloads/config-info
