Snapshots Management Tool

GridGain Ultimate Edition includes a command line tool that simplifies snapshot creation, recovery, and the management of related tasks.

The script that starts the tool is called snapshot-utility and is located in the {GRIDGAIN_HOME}/bin/ folder. The script is available for Unix-based systems (snapshot-utility.sh) and for Windows (snapshot-utility.bat).

The tool supports the following commands:

  • HELP

  • LIST

  • INFO

  • SNAPSHOT

  • RESTORE

  • CHECK

  • DELETE

  • MOVE

  • STATUS

  • CANCEL

  • SCHEDULE

  • COPY

  • METADATA

  • ANALYZE

  • CLEANUP_RESTARTING_CACHES

  • SECURITY_LEVEL

To call a specific command, use the following format:

snapshot-utility.sh [command] <command arguments> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat <command> <args> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
  • <command arguments> – command-specific parameters.

  • <ssl parameters> - the parameters that are used to configure SSL.

  • <connection parameters> – connection parameters the tool uses to connect to a cluster node. These parameters are required for the commands that are executed on the cluster’s nodes (list, info, snapshot, restore, check, delete, move, status, cancel, schedule). If the connection options are not given, the tool tries to connect to a local node with default parameters.

  • <output parameters> – the parameters that specify the output format and output file.

After successful execution, the command will output the snapshot details to console and the file specified by the -output argument.

Command Arguments

Arguments Description

-type=full|inc

The type of snapshot: full or incremental. If this argument is not specified, an incremental snapshot is created.

-caches={cache1,…,cacheN,group1,…​,groupK}

Include specific caches or cache groups in the snapshots. If this argument is specified, only the given caches are included in the snapshot. If the argument is not specified, the snapshot will include all caches.

If a cache is included in a cache group, then the entire cache group will be included in the snapshot.

When Point-in-Time Recovery is enabled, the command will return 4000 error code when executed with this parameter. With PITR, you can only create snapshot with all the caches stored in the cluster.

-excluded_caches={cache1,…​,cacheN,group1,…​groupK}

List of cache or group names excluded from processing.

-dest=EXTERNAL_FOLDER

The folder where the snapshot will be saved. If not specified, the default snapshot folder will be used.

-noprogress

Do not print progress bar.

-progress=DELAY

Delay in seconds for progress bar update, default is 5 seconds.

-verbose

The output will additionally contain the names of the caches included in the snapshot.

-needexchange

If this parameter is specified, the cluster waits for all ongoing cache updates to mark all data to be included in the snapshot and this step requires partition map exchnage (PME). For detailed information about PME, see Data Partitioning. By default, this flag is not specified and creating a snapshot does not require PME.

When point-in-time recovery is enabled, the PME is still required to create snapshots, even though this parameter is not specified.

-parallelism=N

Determines parallel execution (threads) of snapshot operation, 1 to N.

-archive=NONE|ZIP|ZSTD|LZ4|SNAPPY

This argument enable compression for snapshot files.

-compression_level=N

This argument sets compression level for snapshot files, value dependent on codec type[min, max, default]: ZIP[1, 9, 1], ZSTD[1, 22, 1], LZ4[0, 17, 0], SNAPPY[0, 0, 0]

-write_throttling=N

Enables write throttling. Snapshots write speed will be limited when it reaches N bytes per second. This parameter is applied per node.

Only non-negative values are supported. Default value is 0 - no throttling.

-encryption_key=MASTER_KEY_NAME

This argument specifies a master key that will be used for snapshot encryption.

SCHEDULE

This command allows you to create schedules of snapshot operations. Each schedule has a name and can be enabled or disabled as necessary.

For this command to work, the Ignite-schedule module must be installed on the node where the command is to be executed.

List all registered schedules:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -list [-verbose] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -list [-verbose] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Create a snapshot creation schedule:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=create -name=CREATE_SCHEDULE_NAME  [-caches=cache1,cache2,…] -full_frequency=FREQUENCY [-incremental_frequency=FREQUENCY] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=create -name=CREATE_SCHEDULE_NAME  [-caches=cache1,cache2,…] -full_frequency=FREQUENCY [-incremental_frequency=FREQUENCY] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Create a snapshot deletion schedule:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=delete -name=SCHEDULE_NAME [-ttl=TTL] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=delete -name=SCHEDULE_NAME [-ttl=TTL] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=delete -name=SCHEDULE_NAME [-for-oldest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=delete -name=SCHEDULE_NAME [-for-oldest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Create a schedule for the move operation:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=move -name=MOVE_SCHEDULE_NAME -dest=DEST_FOLDER [-ttl=TTL] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=move -name=MOVE_SCHEDULE_NAME -dest=DEST_FOLDER [-ttl=TTL] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Create a schedule for the check operation:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=check -name=CHECK_SCHEDULE_NAME [-for-latest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=check -name=CHECK_SCHEDULE_NAME [-for-latest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-frequency=hourly] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Create a task for the check operation that should be executed after the corresponding create operation:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -command=check -name=CHECK_TASK_NAME [-for-latest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-exec-after=CREATE_SCHEDULE_NAME] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -command=check -name=CHECK_TASK_NAME [-for-latest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS] [-exec-after=CREATE_SCHEDULE_NAME] <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Enable a schedule:

snapshot-utility.sh  schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -enable <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat  schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -enable <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Disable a schedule:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -disable <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -disable <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Delete a schedule:

snapshot-utility.sh schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -delete <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>
snapshot-utility.bat schedule -name=SCHEDULE_NAME -delete <ssl parameters> <connection parameters> <output parameters>

Command Arguments

Arguments Description

-list

Show all registered schedules.

-verbose

Enable verbose mode.

-name=SCHEDULE_NAME

Specify a schedule name.

-command=COMMAND

Specify the command to be scheduled ("create", "delete", "check" or "move").

  • The create command requires either the -full_frequency or -incremental_frequency argument to be set.

  • The move and delete commands require the -frequency argument to be set.

-caches=cache1,…,cacheN,group1,…,groupK

Specify the names of the caches to be included in the snapshot.

-full_frequency=FREQUENCY

Set a full snapshot creation frequency.

-incremental_frequency=FREQUENCY

-frequency=FREQUENCY

Set the frequency for the delete, move, or check command. The default frequency is set to the rate of once every one hour.

FREQUENCY could be one of the following:

  • "15mins" - execute every 15 minutes

  • "30mins" - execute every 30 minutes

  • "hourly" - execute every hour

  • "daily" - execute every day at 00:00

  • "weekly" - execute every Sunday at 00:00

  • any valid CRON expression, for example: 0 0 * * *

-exec-after=SCHEDULE_NAME

Execute the task after a successful completion of the SCHEDULE_NAME schedule. If you specify this argument, -frequency is not needed. It’s possible to build a chain of multiple tasks, executing one after another, e.g. create snapshot, then check, then move (see also -for-latest and -for-oldest options).

-ttl=TTL

The time period for the maintenance of snapshots before they could be moved or deleted. Only one of parameters -ttl, -for-oldest or -for-latest should be specified. The default value is TTL=3 days.

TTL could be one of the following:

* NNd - NN days, for example: 3d

* NNh - NN hours, for example: 12h

* NNm - NN minutes, for example: 90m

* NN - NN milliseconds, for example: 100000

-for-oldest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS

Select NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS oldest snapshots to check, move or delete. Only one of parameters -ttl, -for-oldest or -for-latest should be specified. The default value is TTL=3 days.

-for-latest=NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS

Select NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS latest snapshots to check, move or delete. Only one of parameters -ttl, -for-oldest or -for-latest should be specified. The default value is TTL=3 days.

-dest=DESTINATION_FOLDER

The snapshot destination folder.

-enable

Enable a schedule.

-disable

Disable a schedule.

-delete

Delete a schedule. If a specified schedule was created with -exec-after parameter, it is removed from the task chain. If it is the first task in the chain, all tasks in chain are deleted cascadely.

-keep

Only supported for delete subcommand. If specified, a specified number of snapshots are kept after deletion. Default value is 1.

-archive=NONE|ZIP|ZSTD|LZ4|SNAPPY

This argument enable compression for snapshot files.
