Migrating Looker data to Automation Suite
Use this procedure to migrate Looker data from Insights Standalone to Insights Automation Suite.
- Open an SSH client and run the following command
to authenticate.
ssh <username>@<hostname>
ssh <username>@<hostname>
- Create a
backup.
image=$(sudo docker container inspect looker-container -f '{{ .Image }}') backupPath="$HOME/insights/backup" && mkdir "$backupPath" -p sudo docker run -u root --rm --platform linux --volumes-from looker-container -v "$backupPath":/backup "$image" bash -c "tar cvf /backup/looker_backup.tar --absolute-names /app/workdir/.db /mnt/lookerfiles /app/workdir/looker.key"
image=$(sudo docker container inspect looker-container -f '{{ .Image }}') backupPath="$HOME/insights/backup" && mkdir "$backupPath" -p sudo docker run -u root --rm --platform linux --volumes-from looker-container -v "$backupPath":/backup "$image" bash -c "tar cvf /backup/looker_backup.tar --absolute-names /app/workdir/.db /mnt/lookerfiles /app/workdir/looker.key"Note: Starting with the 2022.10 version, thelooker.key
is included in the migration backup.
- Exit the SSH.
exit
exit - Copy the files to the local machine using Secure
Copy Protocol (SCP).
scp <username>@<hostname>:~\insights\backup\looker_backup.tar <path-to-download-dir>
scp <username>@<hostname>:~\insights\backup\looker_backup.tar <path-to-download-dir>
- Download the
kubeconfig
file. The following screenshot shows an Azure deployment template for Automation Suite. - Open an SSH client and run the following command to get the Insights Looker pod name
$Env:KUBECONFIG="C:\Users\username\Downloads\output.yaml" # path to the optput.yaml oc get pods -n <uipath>
$Env:KUBECONFIG="C:\Users\username\Downloads\output.yaml" # path to the optput.yaml oc get pods -n <uipath> -
The Insights Looker pod is now listed (e.g.,
insights-insightslooker-c987df55c-gngqd
). - Set a variable name for the Insights Looker pod.
$PodName = "insights-insightslooker-74db798bc5-dt68p"
$PodName = "insights-insightslooker-74db798bc5-dt68p" - Create a backup for the Automation Suite data. The backup file will be stored on a machine with console where command is initiated.
Please make sure to delete created backup because it contains sensitive information.
oc cp ${PodName}:/app/workdir/.db/ .\sf_db_backup -n <uipath> -c insightslooker oc cp ${PodName}:/mnt/lookerfiles/ .\sf_lookerfiles_backup -n <uipath> -c insightslooker
oc cp ${PodName}:/app/workdir/.db/ .\sf_db_backup -n <uipath> -c insightslooker oc cp ${PodName}:/mnt/lookerfiles/ .\sf_lookerfiles_backup -n <uipath> -c insightslooker - Unzip the TAR file from the Insights Linux Server.
7z x .\looker_backup.tar -olooker_backup # looker_backup is the output folder
7z x .\looker_backup.tar -olooker_backup # looker_backup is the output folder - (Conditionally required if the Automation Suite password is different from the one used in the Standalone deployment model)
Edit the following files before the migration and update url and/or password in both looker.log and looker.script files.
Open
sf_db_backup/looker.log
and search forhost_url
to find the string that starts withhttps://
.Search forINSERT INTO "CREDENTIALS_EMAIL" VALUES(1,1,'admin@uipath.com'
insf_db_backup/looker.log
.Copy the string that starts with$2a$12$
and overwrite all occurrences inlooker_backup/app/.db/looker.log
.Note:- Turn off regex in the editor if you cannot find these lines.
- If there are multiple occurrences of
INSERT INTO "CREDENTIALS_EMAIL" VALUES(1,1,'admin@uipath.com'
you need to update all of them.
- Change the working directory to the
looker_backup
folder. In this folder you will see two sub-folders namedapp
andmnt
.cd looker_backup
cd looker_backup - Copy files to the insights Looker pod and then restart the deployment.
