System: Logs
This is where the kernel and system logs can be viewed. This also includes the ability to filter the text.
Text Filter
Text to Filter
- Insert a string that covers what you would like to see or exclude. In fact you can use the regular
expression constants like: 00:[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2} or .debug|.err.
Filter Mode
- You will see only messages containing the text in the Include mode while you will not see them in the
Exclude mode.
Remove Filter
- Clears the filter being used
Filter Messages
- Change the filter being used. Including a blank Text to Filter effectively removes the filter.
System: Password Change
This is where the system password can be changed. The system password is the ‘root’ user password, used for
logging into this web interface, as well as logging in as root via SSH. This password is not used by the restricted
‘user’ account. Changes here made will take effect immediately after being saved, without asking for confirmation.
The new password must consist of alphanumeric characters and be at least 1 character long.
Password Change
New Password
- The first field for a new password.
Confirm Password
- The second field for a new password. This must match the first field.
Set Password
- This button will commit the changes to your password.
System: Backup & Restore
This is where the system can be backed up to disk and restored.
You have the option to backup the configuration data only, or backup everything. Configuration data includes things
like network setup, passwords, time settings, etc. Backing up everything will add to that any custom applications,
and the user and root home directories (basically the entire userspace partition). The everything backup does not
backup the root filesystem or kernel.
When restoring from a backup file, the system will check that it is a valid backup before asking the user to continue.
Backup System
Backup Configuration/Everything
- Configuration backup backs up all configuration files. This includes network,
passwords, system settings, etc. Everything backup backs up the configuration data as well as user applications and
the user and root home directories.
Name this configuration
- You can give the backup file an arbitrary name. The name is only shown during restore.
Backup
- This button creates the backup. A download link to the backup will be provided and you will be prompted
to save the file to a location. The download link is not valid indefinitely.
Restore Configuration
Saved backup file
- Choose a backup file for this machine type. The restore system will check the file and ask for
confirmation before running the restore.
Restore
- This button applies the backup. The backup file will then be verified. Clicking restore again will commit the
changes and take effect immediately.
