System related traps

SPS can send the following system related alerts in e-mail or as SNMP trap. To configure these alerts, see Configuring e-mail alerts and Configuring SNMP alerts.

 NOTE:

Configure Disk space fill-up prevention, and configure SPS to send an alert if the free space on the disks of SPS is low. For details, see "Preventing disk space fill-up" in the Administration Guide.

Configure SPS to send an alert if a user fails to login to SPS. For details, see the Login failed alert in "System related traps" in the Administration Guide.

Figure 55: Basic Settings > Alerting & Monitoring — health monitoring

Table 1: System related traps
Name SNMP alert ID Description
Login failed xcbLoginFailure Failed login attempts from SPS web interface.
Successful login xcbLogin Successful login attempts into SPS web interface.
Logout from the management interface xcbLogout Logouts from SPS web interface.
Configuration changed xcbConfigChange Any modification of SPS's configuration.
General alert xcbAlert

General alerts and error messages occurring on SPS.

Note that alerts on general alerts and errors are sent whenever there is an alert or error level message in the SPS system log. These messages are very verbose and mainly useful only for debugging purposes.

Enabling these alerts may result in multiple e-mails or SNMP traps sent about the same event.

Data and configuration backups

Backups create a snapshot of the configuration of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) or the data which can be used for recovery in case of errors. SPS can create automatic backups of its configuration and the stored audit-trails to a remote server.

Configuring backups is a two-step process:

  1. Create a backup policy.

  2. Assign that policy to the system or a connection — depending on what it is that you wish to back up, SPS's configuration or a connection.

Creating a backup policy:

Backup policies define the address of the backup server, which protocol to use to access it, and other parameters. SPS can be configured to use the Rsync, SMB/CIFS, and NFS protocols to access the backup server:

The different backup protocols assign different file ownerships to the files saved on the backup server. The owners of the backup files created using the different protocols are the following:

  • Rsync: The user provided on the web interface.

  • SMB/CIFS: The user provided on the web interface.

  • NFS: root with no-root-squash, nobody otherwise.

 Caution:

SPS cannot modify the ownership of a file that already exists on the remote server. If you change the backup protocol but you use the same directory of the remote server to store the backups, make sure to adjust the ownership of the existing files according to the new protocol. Otherwise SPS cannot overwrite the files and the backup procedure fails.

Assigning a backup policy:

Once you have configured a backup policy, set it as a system backup policy (for configuration backups) or data backup policy (for connections backups):

 NOTE:

Backup deletes all other data from the target directory. Restoring a backup deletes all other data from SPS. For details on restoring configuration and data from backup, see Restoring One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) configuration and data.

Creating a backup policy using Rsync over SSH

The Rsync over SSH backup method connects the target server with SSH and executes the rsync UNIX command to copy the data to the remote server. SPS authenticates itself with a public key — password-based authentication is not supported.

 Caution:

The backup server must run rsync version 3.0 or newer.

To create a backup policy using Rsync over SSH

  1. Navigate to Policies > Backup & Archive/Cleanup and click in the Backup policies section to create a new backup policy.

  2. Enter a name for the backup policy (for example, config-backup).

  3. Enter the time when the backup process should start into the Start time field in HH:MM format (for example, 23:00).

    You can add the start time for additional backup processes.

    		 Caution:

    When specifying an additional start time, ensure that the previous backup process finishes before the new backup process starts.

  4. Enter the IP address or the hostname of the remote server into the Target server field (for example, backup.example.com).

    Use an IPv4 address.

  1. Select Rsync over SSH from the Copy data from PSM radio buttons.

    Figure 57: Policies > Backup & Archive/Cleanup > Backup policies — Configuring backups using rsync

  2. Enter the username used to log on to the remote server into the Username field.

  3. Click in the Authentication key field. A popup window is displayed.

  4. Generate a new keypair by clicking Generate or upload or paste an existing one. This key will be used to authenticate SPS on the remote server. The public key of this keypair must be imported to the remote server.

  5. Click in the Server host key field. A popup window is displayed.

  6. Click Query to download the host key of the server, or upload or paste the host key manually. SPS will compare the host key shown by the server to this key, and connect only if the two keys are identical.

    Figure 58: Policies > Backup & Archive/Cleanup > Backup policies — Configuring SSH keys

  7. Enter the port number of the SSH server running on the remote machine into the Port field.

  8. Enter the path to the backup directory on the target server into the Path field (for example /backups).

    SPS saves all data into this directory, automatically creating the subdirectories. Backups of audit-trails are stored in the data, configuration backups in the config subdirectory.

  1. When your SPS instance is a node in a cluster, select Include the Cluster Node ID in the path. This ensures that the ID of the node is included in the path of the relevant directory, which is required to prevent cluster nodes from backing up data to the same location, and so overwriting each other's data and resulting in data loss. In addition, having the node's ID in the directory name also enables easy identification.

    		 Caution:

    Hazard of data loss

    Unchecking Include the Cluster Node ID in the path when your SPS is a node in a cluster can result in data loss if you have configured configuration synchronization across your cluster nodes.

  1. To receive e-mail notification of the backup, select the Send notification on errors only or the Send notification on all events option. Notifications are sent to the administrator e-mail address set on the Management tab.

    To include the list of files in the e-mail, select Send notification on all events and enable the Include file list option. However, note that if the list is very long (for example, SPS stores over 20000 audit trails), the SPS web interface might become unaccessible. In this case, set the Maximum number of files in notification lower. After this number has been reached, file names will be omitted from the notification.

    		 NOTE:

    This e-mail notification is different from the one set on the Alerting & Monitoring tab. This notification is sent to the administrator's e-mail address, while the alerts are sent to the alert e-mail address (see Configuring system monitoring on SPS).

  2. Click Commit.

  3. To assign the backup policy to a connection, see Creating data backups.
