Overview
A snapshot is a backup of the entire configuration, written into an exportable flat file
It contains:
Monitoring settings (Systems, connectors, user profiles, monitors, profiles, etc…)
Admin settings
User settings
Plugins
It excludes:
Administration
The snapshot section of the admin menu allows to do the following:
Backup plan
The backup plan will define how often a backup of the configuration will be performed.
The backup operation consists of taking a snapshot of the configuration, which is stored on Pro.Monitor server.
To configure the backup, set its recurrence using the backup plan formular below.
If Smart backup is active, the snapshot will be created only if a configuration change occurred since the last backup
Import snapshots
Use the upload button to select a snapshot file on your local system and upload it to Pro.Monitor
It will be displayed in the table of available snapshots. From this table you will see snapshot date, comment and if it was added manually or generated automatically.
Select your snapshot and press Apply, it will replace the entire configuration by the one set in the snapshot
Note: Pro.Monitor has been designed to 100% backward compatible with any version of snapshots
Caution: To apply a snapshot will remove any existing configuration, if you want to be able to recover it, take a snapshot before.
Take/Export snapshots
Press the Take snapshot button to manually create a snapshot of the configuration
The snapshot will be displayed in the table.
