Volume 9: Managing the Blue Coat SG Appliance
Creating and Editing Snapshot Jobs
The snapshot subsystem periodically pulls a specified console URL and stores it in a repository, offering valuable resources for Blue Coat customer support in diagnosing problems.
By default, two snapshots are defined. The first takes a snapshot of the system information URL once every 24 hours. The second snapshot takes an hourly snapshot of the system information statistics. Both of these snapshot jobs keep the last 30 snapshots.
Determining which console URL to poll, the time period between snapshots, and how many snapshots to keep are all configurable options for each snapshot job.
To create a new snapshot job:
1.Select Maintenance > Service Information > Snapshots.
2.Click New.
3.Enter a snapshot job into the Add list item dialog that displays; click Ok.
4.Click Apply to commit the changes to the SG appliance.
5.(Optional) To view snapshot job information, click View All Snapshots. Close the window that opens when you are finished viewing.
