Hi!
I am trying to programatically take backup of InfluxDB to another server using golang.
I am able to do that via command line function of golang as follows:
cmd := exec.Command(configInfluxDB.InfluxdExeutablePath, "backup", "-portable", "-database", configInfluxDB.Database, "-host", configInfluxDB.HostName+":8088", fileStorePath)
However, I am unable to find any golang api function for the same purpose.
I would like to know similar function which could take the parameters path
, database
, host
and file path
and then take the backup
Kindly help
Thanks
I tried using the backend functions defined in https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/cmd/influx/backup.go as follows:
func newBackupService() (influxdb.BackupService, error) {
return &http.BackupService{
Addr: "http://localhost:8086",
Token: "admin:admin",
}, nil
}
func ConnectToDB(fullFileName string) (*InfluxReader, error) {
// Read InfluxDB instance's properties from an external file.
configInfluxDB, err := loadInfluxProperty(fullFileName)
fmt.Println("hello")
HTTPAddr := fmt.Sprintf("http://%s:%s",configInfluxDB.HostName, configInfluxDB.PortNumber)
c, _ := client.NewHTTPClient(client.HTTPConfig{
Addr: HTTPAddr,
Username: configInfluxDB.UserName,
Password: configInfluxDB.Password,
})
_, _, err = c.Ping(0)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Error creating InfluxDB Client: ", err.Error())
}
defer c.Close()
var slash = ""
if string(os.TempDir()[0]) == "C" {
slash = "\\"
} else {
slash = "/"
}
fileStorePath := os.TempDir() + slash + configInfluxDB.Database
fmt.Println(fileStorePath)
ctx := context.Background()
err = os.MkdirAll(fileStorePath, 0777)
if err != nil && !os.IsExist(err) {
fmt.Println("e1")
return nil,err
}
backupService, err := newBackupService()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("e2")
return nil,err
}
id, backupFilenames, err := backupService.CreateBackup(ctx)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("e3")
return nil,err
}
fmt.Printf("Backup ID %d contains %d files\n", id, len(backupFilenames))
fmt.Printf("Backup complete")
var files []string
err = filepath.Walk(fileStorePath, visit(&files))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Could not store file names:", err)
return nil, err
}
return &InfluxReader{ConfigInfluxDB: configInfluxDB,File: files,Path: fileStorePath}, err
}
On running the code, the output is:
hello
(.....some path......)
