The instruction says that I need to:
1. Open Template Editor in current snmpcollector probe and deactivate all active templates.
2. Deactivate snmpcollector probe.
The ideal plan is to able to backup the following files nightly:
<snmpcollector>/snmpcollector.cfg
<snmpcollector>/snmpcollector.mv.db
<snmpcollector>/bulk_config/templates/*
<snmpcollector>/CustomVendorCertifications/* (If you have self certification)
The need to shutdown snmpcollector is not ideal. Questions are:
1 - is that a way I can programmatically disable templates from command line
2 - is deactiving snmpcollector probe a must? I am assuming the reason for this is to ensure we get a clean DB file copy. if I:
a. copy the DB file while snmpcollector probe is running, how good is the DB file?
b. instead of backing up the live DB files, can I copy the DB backup files and then restore them onto the "standby" snmpcollector hub?
