Control By Web (Xytronix) backup

I am trying figure if there is a way to pull a backup from Control By Web (Xytronix) equipment. Everyone one of the CBW boxes have the backup file located at:
http://x.x.x.x/settings.txt
Is this something that can be done in version 2.0?
If not, can I request this be added into Unimus?
Thanks,
Douglas Engle

Hi,
Do these devices have a CLI from which a backup could be pulled?
If so, we can add a native driver in Unimus for these, and it would work ootb.
If there is no CLI, and a backup is only available through HTTP(S), you can use the new "Backup Push" API endpoint in Unimus.
Here is an example bash script using curl you can use to push to these devices:
Code: Select all
device_ip="1.2.3.4"
settings_file="settings.txt"
backup_file="${device_ip}_${settings_file}"
unimus_address="some.server.address"
unimus_api_token="qwertyuiop"
curl "http://${device_ip}/${settings_file}" -o "${backup_file}"
device_id=$(curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${unimus_api_token}" "http://${unimus_address}:8085/api/v2/devices/findByAddress/${device_ip}" | jq '.data.id')
curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${unimus_api_token}" -d '{"backup":"$(base64 ${backup_file})","type":"TEXT"}' "http://${unimus_address}:8085/api/v2/devices/${device_id}/backups"
rm ${backup_file}
You will need to create devices in Unimus for these, and set them to "Unmanaged".
This uses this API endpoint to push backups:

You will need to install "curl" and "jq" to use this.
