smonmove

The smonmove program changes the location of the session monitoring data in the Bravura Security Fabric database from one node to another. You might need to do this in a recovery scenario where a replication node containing session monitoring data gets decommissioned and needs to be copied to an active replication node.

This program only makes changes in the database. In addition to running this program, the following directories need to be manually copied from the old node to the new node:

  • smon\screenshot

  • smon\webcam

Packages that were already generated will not be copied over. These will need to be requested again by the end-user.

Usage

smonmove.exe -list

smonmove.exe -sourcenode <node ID of source managing node> -destnode <node ID of destination managing node> -move

Argument

Description

-destnode <nodeID>

The node ID to move session monitoring data to.

-force

Move session monitoring data even if it is incomplete (ie. session is currently active or stale). Moving incomplete data may cause issues with package generation.

-list

Display a list of valid source and destination node IDs.

-move

Move session monitoring data.

-sourcenode <nodeID>

The node ID to move session monitoring data from.

Examples
  1. To list the IDs of the source and destination nodes:

    smonmove.exe -list
  2. To move session monitoring data from one node to another:

    smonmove.exe -sourcenode <nodeID> -destnode <nodeID> -move
  3. To force all session monitoring data to be moved from one node to another, regardless of the session status:

    smonmove.exe -sourcenode <nodeID> -destnode <nodeID> -move -force
