Migrate Server
How do I move Log360 to a new server?
To migrate Log360 to a new server, it is recommended to copy the Log360 folder, the EventLog Analyzer folder, and the Elasticsearch folder to the new server. The following steps describe how to do the same.
Step 1) Stop the services - Log360 and EventLog Analyzer.
- Open Command Prompt as the administrator. Navigate to <Home> Log360/bin and execute
- Open Command Prompt as the administrator. Navigate to <Home> EventLog Analyzer/ bin and execute
- Shutdown.bat
- StopDB.bat
- StopSEC.bat
- Open Command Prompt as the administrator. Navigate to <Home> elasticsearch/ES/bin and execute
Open Task Manager and end all tasks related to Log360 and EventLog Analyzer.
2) Copy the following folders to the new server
- Log360
- EventLog Analyzer
- elasticsearch
Note: Ensure that the new path is the same as the path in the old server.
After Log360 and elasticsearch folders are moved along with EventLog Analyzer, if the new path is not the same as the previous path, then path.data and path.repo should be updated accordingly in the following files:
- <ManageEngine Home>\elasticsearch\ES\config\elasticsearch.yml ( as shown in the image below).
- <EventLog Analyzer Home>\ES\config\elasticsearch.yml
3) Installing services on the new server.
- Open Command Prompt as the administrator. Navigate to <Home> Log360/bin and execute
- Open Command Prompt as the administrator. Navigate to <Home> EventLog Analyzer/ bin and execute
4) Start Log360
Start → All Programs → Log360 → Start Log360
Note:
- If you have enabled log forwarding from any Linux, Unix, router, switch, firewall, or syslog devices to EventLog Analyzer, you would need to re-point them to the new server.
- If an agent has been configured for any device, check if it has been modified appropriately.
- Do not delete the previous installation until you ensure the migration is successful. Verify the migration by checking the log collection after 30 minutes.
