Migrating resource logs from local storage to object storage on zCX

This topic describes how to migrate resource logs from your local system storage to object storage.

After successfully migrating the resource logs, disable the migration job.

Before you begin

Run the following command to back up your $MODEL9_HOME/backups directory: 

To set up the migration job

1. Update the following parameters in the model9-local.yml file, which resides in the $MODEL9_HOME/conf/ directory, by using the following commands. The following example schedules the migration job to run at midnight on October 1, 2025:

   #Log in to the Alpine container
   docker exec -it dummy sh
   cd /root
   
   #Edit the model9-local yml file
   vi conf/model9-local.yml
   
   #Disable saving resource logs to your local system by deleting the following parameter
   model9.backup.log.saveToFile: true
   
   #Schedule the migration job to run by specifying the cron expression in accordance with your needs
   model9.backup.log.migration.cron: "0 0 0 1 10 * 2025"
   
   #Exit from the Alpine container
   exit

2. Restart the server by using the following command: 

   docker restart model9-v4.3.0

3. After the scheduled migration job completes, check the server logs and verify that the migration was successful.
