Use this endpoint when you configure a Backup Daemon for the first time. Ensure that the Backup Daemon process is running before you configure it using this endpoint.

If you have already configured the Backup Daemon, update it using the Update One Backup Daemon Configuration endpoint.

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0/admin/backup

Resource

PUT /daemon/configs/{MACHINE}

Request Path Parameters

Name Type Necessity Description
MACHINE string Required Hostname or IP address of the machine that serves the Backup Daemon.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Necessity Description Default
pretty boolean Optional Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false
envelope boolean Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

Name Description

envelope Expected response body
false

Request Body Parameters

Name Type Necessity Description
assignmentEnabled boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon can be assigned backup jobs.
backupJobsEnabled boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon can be used to backup databases.
configured boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon is ready to use.
garbageCollectionEnabled boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon has garbage collection set.
headDiskType string Optional

Type of disk used to store the head directory.

The accepted values for this option are:

  • HDD
  • SSD
id string Required Unique identifier of this Backup Daemon.
labels array of strings Optional

Array of tags to manage which backup jobs Ops Manager can assign to which Backup Daemons.

Setting these tags limits which backup jobs this Backup Daemon can process. If omitted, this Backup Daemon can only process backup jobs for projects that do not use labels to filter their jobs.

machine object Required Backup Daemon host and its head directories.
machine.headRootDirectory string Optional Root-relative path of the head directory on this Backup Daemon host. This directory must end with a slash (/). If you omit the slash, the Backup Daemon generates a Java Exception error.
machine.machine string Required Hostname or IP address of the Backup Daemon host.
numWorkers number Optional Number of worker processes that can perform tasks (i.e. backup, restore, or groom) for the Backup Daemon.
resourceUsageEnabled boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon has its resource usage monitored.
restoreQueryableJobsEnabled boolean Optional Flag indicating whether this Backup Daemon can perform queryable restores.
