Backup-Recovery

Although the application is easy to configure, should you have to rebuild the server and re-deploy the war file, you might not want to have to re-enter all the log files. As such, a tool is provided that allows you to export the configuration data. Then later you can import them again after you have re-deployed (or newly deployed) the war file.

Backup Configuration Data

1.  Access url: \http://server\[:port\]/LogViewer/admin/upgrade.jsp
2.  Log in if prompted
3.  Click the Export button. This will cause a file called configuration.xml to be downloaded to your local computer.
4.  Save this file somewhere.

Restore/Rebuild

1.  Rebuild the application:
    a.  Following Installation instruction steps 1 and 2 (installation and security configuration)

    a.  Access url: \http://server\[:port\]/LogViewer/admin/upgrade.jsp
