Opsview - Run import_runtime manually

import_runtime imports data from the opsview.runtime database to the opsview.odw database for long-term storage. If your Opsview does not use the Opsview Data Warehouse (ODW), you do not need to run import_runtime.

By default, import_runtime runs once every hour at 4 minutes past the hour: this is scheduled in the opsview user’s crontab. You may want to run import_runtime manually to troubleshoot issues with import_runtime or to start the import process sooner than it would otherwise be scheduled.

Prerequisites

• Opsview is configured to use the ODW

Process

1. Log in to the orchestrator as root.
2. Make sure import_runtime is not already running by checking to see if there is an existing import_runtime process:

ps -ef | grep import_runtime

If there is an existing import_runtime process, it is safe to kill the process with kill.

3. Remove the import_runtime pid file if it exists:

   rm -f /opt/opsview/coreutils/var/import_runtime.pid

4. Run cleanup_import to clean up any partially imported data from previous runs of import_runtime:

/opt/opsview/coreutils/bin/cleanup_import

5. Run import_runtime as the opsview user:

sudo -iu opsview . /opt/opsview/coreutils/bin/profile && /opt/opsview/coreutils/bin/import_runtime -q &

tail -f /var/log/opsview/opsview.log | egrep -i 'import\w* for'
