[Solved] Triggered backups and Unimus config mode access
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2023 2:11 am
Hi all,
I've just started having a go at Unimus, enjoying it so far, but I have a question about what Unimus does when it's logging in during a discovery/backup.
My plan is to get devices to send a syslog message when their config is (potentially) updated, and using that to trigger an API request in Unimus to run a backup. This part is all fine and I have it working, however I've noticed that I get a "SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console" message from Cisco and an "exiting configuration mode" message from Juniper whenever the Unimus backup schedule runs or a device is discovered (but not when I just initiate a manual backup).
Can I check, is that normal behaviour, e.g. the discovery making sure its credentials work in config mode? I can work around it by ignoring the "configured by console" messages that are initiated from the server's IP, but I'm just curious about what's happening behind the scenes and under what circumstances config mode is entered.
Kind regards
Dan
