How Do I Configure the Configuration File Management Function of eSight to Generate a Device Configuration File Copy with a Fixed Name

Question

When backing up the configuration file of a device, the configuration file management function of eSight generates a configuration file whose name contains the backup execution timestamp. Therefore, the backup configuration files cannot be accurately differentiated based on the file name.

In some scenarios (such as zero-touch deployment of a CE device), users need to obtain configuration files with fixed names. Therefore, eSight needs to be configured to copy the backup device configuration files and generate files with fixed names. In addition, a new configuration file backup task needs to be executed for eSight to replace the configuration files with fixed names, ensuring that the latest configuration files are stored.

Answer

1. Enable the function of generating configuration files with fixed names in the sysconf.properties file.

   By default, this function is disabled in eSight.

   1. Log in to the eSight server as the administrator.
   2. Modify the {eSight installation directory}\AppBase\etc\conffile\sysconf.properties configuration file.

      save.fixed.file.enable=disable

      Set save.fixed.file.enable to enable to enable the function of generating configuration files with fixed names.

   3. Restart eSight for the configuration to take effect.
2. Back up the device configuration file.

   Choose Resource > Network > Configuration > Configuration File Management from the main menu, choose Manage Config Files > Config Files, select related devices, and back up the configuration files of the devices.

3. Check the device configuration file backup result.
   1. Log in to the eSight server as the administrator.
   2. Go to the {eSight installation directory}\AppBase\var\iemp\data\ftp\configfile directory and verify that the configuration file with the fixed name exists.
