Archive an extended datastore for read-only access
By disconnecting an active datastore from an ExtraHop system, you can create a read-only archive of the stored metrics data. Any number of ExtraHop systems can read from an archived datastore.
- Log in to the Administration settings on the ExtraHop system through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>/admin.
- In the System Configuration section, click Datastore.
- In the Extended Datastore Settings section, click Configure Extended Datastore.
- Click the name of the mount that contains the datastore you want to archive.
- In the row of that datastore, click Disconnect Extended Datastore.
- Type YES to confirm.
- Click OK.
The datastore is disconnected from the system and marked for read-only access. Wait
at least ten minutes before connecting any other ExtraHop systems to the
archive.
Connect your ExtraHop system to the archived datastore
| Warning: | To connect to an archived datastore, the ExtraHop system must
scan through the data contained in the datastore. Depending on the amount of
data stored in the archived datastore, connecting to the archived datastore
might take a long time. When connecting to the archived datastore, the system
does not collect data and system performance is degraded. The connection process
takes more time under the following circumstances:
|
- Log in to the Administration settings on the ExtraHop system through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>/admin.
- In the System Configuration section, click Datastore.
- In the Extended Datastore Settings section, click Configure Extended Datastore.
- Click the name of the mount that contains the archived datastore.
- In the Datastore Directory field, type the path of the archived datastore directory.
- Click Archive (Read Only).
- Click Configure.
Your extended database is now a read-only archive that can be accessed by
multiple ExtraHop systems.
