DB Export

Optionally configure the guest user database export parameters. The guest user database can be periodically exported to an external server for backup and analysis.

To define the database export parameters:

  1. Select Policies > Guest Management.
  2. Select the DB Export tab.
  3. Set the following DB Export parameters:
    Enable Enable this setting to configure the guest user database to an external server for backup and analysis. This setting is disabled by default and must be enabled to define the required settings.
    Start Time Define the start time when the first database backup occurs. The first run of the guest user database backup is always the current day. Use the spinner controls to set the start hour and minute. Use the AM/PM options to configure the exact hour. The default value is 12:00 AM.
    Frequency Define the backup frequency. This is the time interval between two consecutive backups. Use the spinner control to set the value between 1 hour and 168 hours. The default frequency is 4 hours.
    Format The guest user database can be exported in the following formats:
    • CSV
    • JSON

    Select the appropriate export format. The default export format is CSV.

    Last Visit Time Use this field to filter or restrict the amount of data that is exported. Use the spinner to set a value in the range 1 - 168 hours. When set, any data that is older than the set period - from when the database is being backed up - is not exported.

    The default value is 4 hours.

    URL Directory Use the field to provide the URL to which the guest user database is exported. Select the Advanced link to expose fields for setting the remote server‘s URL.
  4. After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
    1. Select Revert to restore default settings.
      Note

    2. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
      Note

      This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
    3. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
      Note

      Note

      If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
