SHIELD v8.0.8
Improvements
-
Global Storage Systems are available for selection during the
backup configuration wizard in the web UI. -
Storage systems now properly report their health to all
front-end views, fixing a few fixmes along the way. -
Agents can now be resynchronized, in an ad hoc fashion, via the
admin backend on the web UI. -
Jobs will have their 'next run' time re-calculated when their
schedule is changed. Previously, the existing schedule was in
force until the first run after a schedule change, at which
point the new schedule kicked in. This was weird, so we changed
it. -
New Cloud Storage Solutions (global or tenant-based) are
considered healthy until proven broken. -
shield-agent
now has better logging to help troubleshoot
registration problems.
Bug Fixes
-
Fix an egregious bug in the scheduling logic that was only
considering jobs scheduled in the future to be "overdue".
Since all jobs start out with a next_run of 0, this caused NO
JOBS to ever be scheduled. Thankfully, 8.x is still beta. -
Fix a segfault when dereferencing a nil Task during a broadcast.
Now, we log that we got a nil task, to assist in tracking down
why / where its occurring, rather than just crashing on panic. -
The
shield restore-archive
command now prints out the UUID of
the task scheduled to run the restore, rather than the cryptic
(and oh-so-unhelpful) string "%s!:bool=true" -
Neither
shield create-job
, norshield update-job
will allow
you to create (or modify) jobs to have invalid, unparseable
schedules. This will keep the CLI from accidentally creating
schedules that the web UI can't process. -
When restoring through the new wizard, the web UI only shows
archives for the selected target system, instead of all of the
archives every made for the tenant. Turns out this was less
than useful. -
Fix up some edge cases where we weren't checking for the
existence of a tenant in tenant-scope API calls, just the rights
to that tenant -- since system users can affect all tenants, we
found that we could create child objects on non-existent
tenants.
Developer Stuff
-
bin/testdev
now runs a WebDAV service on the nginx reverse
proxy (on$PORT+1
), since we can no longer use thefs
plugin
for storage operations.On MacOS, with homebrew, you'll want to reinstall nginx with
WebDAV support:brew reinstall --with-webdav nginx
