Network Compatibility

The migration process involves starting an rsync server on the Destination server listening on port 8730 that the Source server connects to, to transfer the required files across. As part of this process the port is opened in the UFW firewall on the Destination server for the duration of the migration process.

Manual Event Archive Importer

Summary

In addition to the Migration process, there is also a helper script on the Snare Central which allows you to import only Snare Event Archive data from a Source server to a Destination server. This script uses SSH from the Destination server to login to the Source server and rsync the files across. It then wipes out the metadata to force a full regeneration with the new data. Since it uses rsync to copy the data, it can be run multiple times with the same Source with no negative impacts and minimal time spend on repeated imports. It can also be run against multiple Source servers to import data into a single Destination.

...

The only requirement for this script is that the Destination server needs to be able to SSH into the Source server. Once this is working, the script can be run. Authentication can be done either via SSH Keys, or via a password which will be prompted for as part of the process.

How to run the script

SSH into the Destination server, and exit the Administration Menu.
