################ FILE COPY #####################################
# you must get bweb svn files
text/brestore with your brestore.pl, and you must install brestore.
See gui/brestore/README for instructions on installing brestore.pl.
-################ POSTGRESQL NOTES ##############################
+################ POSTGRESQL AND MYSQL5 NOTES ####################
If you want to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, you must add
a function to the PostgreSQL Bacula database to get Bweb to work.
psql -U bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
-Tips: PL must be enable in your cluster, you can do this with postgres user
+Tips: PL must be enabled in your cluster, you can do this with postgres user
postgres:~$ echo 'CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;' | psql bacula
+
+To get database size with mysql5, edit Bweb.pm and change the DB_SIZE macro
+
+ # with mysql < 5, you have to play with the ugly SHOW command
+ DB_SIZE => " SELECT 0 ",
+ # works only with mysql 5
+ # DB_SIZE => " SELECT sum(DATA_LENGTH) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES ",
+
################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Size int8;
ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Files int4;
-################ ACCESSING TO BWEB ###############################
+################ ACCESSING TO BWEB ############################
Now, you are able to launch firefox/mozilla and go on
http://your-server/bweb
-################ SETTING MYSQL ACCOUNT ###########################
+################ SETTING MYSQL ACCOUNT ########################
At this time, Bweb needs a write access to :
- Location
GRANT UPDATE (LocationId,Comment,RecyclePoolId) ON bacula.Media
TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
-###################################################################
+################ GET MORE STATISTICS ###########################
+
+You keep Jobs informations across retention into a job_old table.
+You have to setup stat_job_table = job_old in bweb configuration.
+
+CREATE TABLE job_old (LIKE Job);
+
+And run this on crontab when you want :
+INSERT INTO job_old
+ (SELECT * FROM Job WHERE JobId NOT IN (SELECT JobId FROM job_old) );
