---------------------------------------- Feature #5649: Make it easier to observe file changes and restore from backup via Dashboard. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5649 Author: Nicolas Aizier Status: Accepted Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: filebucket, backup, MD5, reports, server Branch: Affected URL: Affected Dashboard version: Actually the backup are done in filebucket (local or server) and stored in a MD5 named directory. This directory contain 2 files, one named "content" with the backuped file content and on named "path" with the backuped file path. This is really a clever way to do it but restore can be painfull and sound really hand made (in fact it is). Actually I try to focus on the date of the files that I grep from the bucket do validate if it's the good one. But this way can not always be the good one since the backup timestamp can be really older than the change date if the MD5 is the same. So to get a really easy restore system we just need to get the MD5 of the original file we are looking for, and that is pretty hard actually, I don't really want to open each reports to find the good one ... My idea was, in puppet-dashboard, in server detail, to get a list on the files changed by puppet. And clicking on this file link would give you the history of change made with the corresponding MD5. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to code, we just have to populate this server based list each time a change occur on a file. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
