Need to create a RH Satellite database dump by Red Hat support request (example script).

Latest response

Hello all,

The below script I made with input of Red Hat Support to create the database dumps and put the output in a tar file

   cd /var/tmp

   mkdir foreman_db
   cd foreman_db

   su - postgres -c "psql foreman -c '\dt *.*'" | grep foreman | awk '{ print $3 }' > _tables.txt

   for i in $(cat _tables.txt ); do echo $i; su - postgres -c "psql foreman -c 'select * from $i;'" > ${i}.txt; done

   cd ..

   mkdir candlepin_db
   cd candlepin_db

   su - postgres -c "psql candlepin -c '\dt *.*'" | grep candlepin | awk '{ print $3 }' > _tables.txt
   for i in $(cat _tables.txt );
   do 
     echo $i
     su - postgres -c "psql candlepin -c 'select * from $i;'" > ${i}.txt
  done

   cd ..

   mkdir pulp_db
   cd pulp_db

   echo "DBQuery.shellBatchSize = 10000000" > .mongorc.js

   mongo pulp_database --eval "db.getCollectionNames()" | grep , | tr ',' '\n' |   cut -d\" -f2 > _tables.txt

   for i in $(cat _tables.txt )
   do
    echo $i
    mongo pulp_database --eval "load('.mongorc.js')
    db.${i}.find().shellPrint()" > ${i}.txt
  done

    for i in $(cat _tables.txt )
    do 
      echo $i
      mongo pulp_database --eval "load('.mongorc.js'); 
      db.${i}.find().pretty().shellPrint()" > ${i}.pretty.txt
    done

   cd ..

   tar cvzpf satellite-db_dump-$(date +"%F-%H%M").tgz foreman_db candlepin_db pulp_db

   rm -rf foreman_db
   rm -rf candlepin_db
   rm -rf pulp_db

   cd ~
