How to backup settings of users in GUI
Backup
Recommended way
Run in bash following commands to dump only configuration (users/alerts etc. - does not includes CDRs,registers,messages)
mydb='voipmonitor'; mysql ${mydb} -Ne "show tables from voipmonitor where \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'alerts_%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'audit_log' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'cdr%' AND \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` NOT LIKE 'cdr_custom_headers' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE '%country%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'chart_cache' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'file_cache' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'daily_reports_%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'geoip%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'livepacket%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'register%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'tracker_%' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'cache_number_location' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'contenttype' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'files' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'fraud_alert_info' OR \ \`Tables_in_${mydb}\` LIKE 'hostname_cache' 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 --skip-disable-keys --skip-add-drop-table --no-create-info ${mydb} > /tmp/settings.sql
Because structure of `users` table varies, dump this table with create statement:
mysqldump voipmonitor users > /tmp/users-create.sql
Another 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
Restore 'users' table structure
mysql voipmonitor < /tmp/users-create.sql
Restore rest
mysql voipmonitor < /tmp/settings.sql
