Export Archived Device Configs to Storage Server

[Jaimes White]

Hello all. I'm trying to find out how (if possible) to export archived configurations from Prime Infrastructure (running 3.2.0 currently) to a remote location (i.e. a local storage server). Intent of doing this is so we can access the previous running configs in the event any equipment loses it's config due to whatever failure, particularly when we are unable to get to Prime. I know I can go in and manually export the config files, but I was hoping to find a way to automate the process.

I'm still searching through documentation myself but wanted to post in here in case anyone was aware of a solution.

Thanks!

Hi,

you have some REST API calls to bulk download configuration archives.

Just go to your prime installation and call

https://<prime-ip>/webacs/api/v4/index?_docs#Configuration_Archive_Service

You can find some useful functions there

You can export the configuration to an external FTP server using the Job Device Config Backup-External from Administration / Dashboards / Job Dashboard page.

You can also export the configuration archive to a zip file by exporting from Inventory / Device Management / Configuration Archive page.
