Migrating logs and history between XOA instances?
-
I am updating our XOA appliance by deplying a new XOA and importing the config file. Everything seems to work alright, except that I do not have access to the logs or the VM statistics (RAM usage, etc). Is it possible to migrate these logs to the new XOA or use a central repository to store them instead of using the local XOA itself?

@Forza I looked into this a while back and couldn't find a solution. This is kind of critical for any organization who has a SOC 2 or ISO certificate that they are maintaining....
I never found a solution and we just accepted the loss of the local logs and "justified" under security reasons (we were updating XOA).

Hi,
- VM stats aren't store on XOA but on your pools, and they should be there with the same history as the old one
- Can you tell exactly what kind of logs are you talking about?

Every action that has taken place on the pool by XO, is what we were wanting to keep. But if you replace XO, you lose the logs as they are retained on the original XO.
Who, what, when, where basically.
It's forensics for SOC and ISO that are required.

If you are using the Audit plug-in, there is a way to move these entries to a new XOA deployments.
I assume that you are referring to other logs, like the ones appearing on a VM's Logs tab, correct?

VM Log tabs yes, I haven't looked into the Audit plugin, that may cover half of the need.
