How to backup settings of users in GUI

Backup

Recommended way

Run in bash following commandline to dump only users settings (not CDRs,registers,messages) to /tmp/settings.sql

mydb='voipmonitor'; mysql ${mydb} -Ne "show tables from voipmonitor where \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'alerts_%' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'cdr%' AND \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` NOT LIKE 'cdr_custom_headers' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE '%country%' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'register%' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'cache_number_location' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'contenttype' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'files' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'live_packet' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'message' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'rtp_stat' OR \
  \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'system' \
  "| sed -e "s/^/--ignore-table=${mydb}./" |xargs mysqldump -c --skip-triggers --skip-add-locks --no-create-info ${mydb} > /tmp/settings.sql

Problematic way

Not recommended but can be useful other way to backup GUI settings

Restore

If you wish to restore dumpfile, start with a new db:

mysqladmin create voipmonitor

Let your latest sensor create tables needed for voipmonitor service:

/etc/init.d/voipmonitor restart

Let your GUI create tables needed for GUI, Just login to web GUI with your browser (If you are already logged in, logout first and then 're-login'. (default login is admin / admin)

http://voipmonitor_IP

Remove data from tables that was auto-added in time of creation. (because these data are customizable and was dumped).

mysql voipmonitor -e "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0; TRUNCATE table tracker_category; TRUNCATE table tracker_priority; TRUNCATE table tracker_status; SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;" 

Restore settings

mysql voipmonitor < /tmp/settings.sql
