AutoConfigBackup performance improvements

Backup / Restore
Plus Target Version:
22.01
Description
This feature requires two main changes:
- ACB backups from systems we don't allow (pfBlocker, snort, minicron etc) should be filtered in the firewall, not on the server
- Backups should be saved to a file and uploaded to the sever by a cron job, therebu keeping the GUI responsive
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- Assignee changed from Anonymous to Steve Wheeler
- When time based backups are selected, and no minutes value provided, a random value is generated and presented to the user
- The time based cron job is now created automatically using install_cron_job()
- Backups are now written to a file in /cf/conf/acb and uploaded to the server via the cron job /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php
- Backups triggered by pfBlockerNG, Snort & minicron are not uploaded automatically
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
ACB cron job is now installed on config upgrade if ACB is enabled.
- Status changed from Feedback to New
Seeing a set of PHP error from these changes:
[11-Aug-2021 10:45:00 America/New_York] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant lockfile - assumed 'lockfile' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php on line 35
[11-Aug-2021 10:45:00 America/New_York] PHP Warning: filemtime(): stat failed for lockfile in /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php on line 35
[11-Aug-2021 10:46:00 America/New_York] PHP Warning: unlink(/tmp/acb.lock): No such file or directory in /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php on line 66
Looks like that line source:src/usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php#L35 is missing a $ on the variable name:
Right now it is:
if (time()-filemtime(lockfile) > (60 * 60)) {
Should be:
if (time()-filemtime($lockfile) > (60 * 60)) {
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
This looks good now.
Files are queued as expected and uploaded when the cronjob fires.
The cronjob is created correctly on new installs when ACB is enabled.
The only thing that could be improved is that if access to acb is disabled for any reason the upload script still reports success:
Aug 18 12:34:43 php-fpm 41255 /services_acb_backup.php: Configuration Change: admin@172.21.16.5 (Local Database): Test10
Aug 18 12:34:43 php-fpm 41255 /services_acb_backup.php: Beginning configuration backup to https://acb.netgate.com/save
Aug 18 12:35:30 php 36064 /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php: End of configuration backup to (success).
That makes troubleshooting more difficult.
