NAME

configsnapshot - Generates a configuration snapshot for a Torrus tree.

SYNOPSIS

torrus configsnapshot --tree=TREENAME [options...]

DESCRIPTION

This command generates a configuration snapshot from current datasources for tree TREENAME. The output is an XML file, ready for compilation, representing all datasources, monitors and tokensets of a given tree. The snapshot does not include view definitions. Templates and file patterns are expanded inside the file. It does not require any other XML configuration files, except for defaults.xml and your custom view definitions.

Warning: configsnapshot from RRFW release 0.1.5 will not work correctly with databases from previous releases. Use RRFW release 0.1.4bf2 instead. configsnapshot utility from RRFW release 0.1.4bf2 does not preserve aliases.

This utility is useful in Torrus upgrade process. In case when RRD files structure is changing in Torrus default templates, and user(s) demand to preserve the historical data, the following steps could be done:

OPTIONS

--tree=TREE

Mandatory parameter specifying the tree name.

--out=FILE

Sets the output file to FILE. Default is snapshot.xml.

--param=PARAM --value=VALUE

Sets the filter on datasource leaves that have to be included in the snapshot. PARAM specifies the name of the datasource parameter, and VALUE sets the matching value. By default the numeric comparison is performed.

--op=OPERATOR

Sets the fiter comparison operator. Accepted values: = (numeric), eq (text string comparison), and re (regular expression match). Default is numeric comparison.

--verbose

Displays some extra information.

--help

Displays a help message.
