      The last time I set up Graylog I had to configured SELinux. Allow the web server to access the network: sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1 Graylog REST API and web interface: sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 9000 Elasticsearch (only if the HTTP API is being used): sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 9200 Allow using MongoDB default port (27017/tcp): sudo semanage port -a -t mongod_port_t -p tcp 27017

      The IT benefit to this entire thing is, by enabling this feature, IT will now have a backup of the configuration of all the phones. Even if a user changes a button. Now a phone can die and IT will simply change the MAC on the provisioning server and put the new phone on the desk. To the business, the benefit is to let users control their own buttons without IT getting involved. Buttons can easily be programmed by a user simply holding it down until the menu pops up. It takes very little instruction to teach users to pick Speed Dial or BLF and enter the number or extension. For most small shops, this doesn't matter in the first place. They rarely change anything. But for an organization over 20, it is very common to have users all needing different configurations on their phone buttons. Their Boss, their Queue Pause, their specific parking lots, etc.

      @JaredBusch fair enough, I haven't used the product itself as of yet and wasn't aware it had whitelisting inside the product, if this was specific to just fail2ban then that method would be suitable, but in this case I agree with you, my mistake.

      @black3dynamite said in Setting Up a Standard MySQL or MariaDB Database for an Application: @JaredBusch said in Setting Up a Standard MySQL or MariaDB Database for an Application: I like my approach to setting this up. Obviously, install MySQL/MariaDB first as noted above. Then do the following. This all needs done in the same SSH session, but otherwise things are simple. Choose once of these exports for your DB root password. The first one is for you to specify, the second generates a random one and echo's it back to you. # Specify your own password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your MariaDB root password: $DB_ROOT_PASS" Specify the application database name and application user name # Database user to use for application export DB_USER='yourusername' # Database name to use for application export DB_NAME='yourdatabasename' Generate or specify a random password for the database user # Specify your own password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your password for the application user: $DB_PASS" Then create the application database, use, and grant access. mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;" mysql -e "CREATE USER '$DB_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$DB_PASS';" mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO '$DB_USER'@'localhost';" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" Finally, lock down the system without the interactive requirement of mysql_secure_installation # Secure MariaDB (this does what mysql_secure_installation performs without interaction) mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$DB_ROOT_PASS') WHERE User='root';" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';" # Beginning on some version of MariaDB after Fedora 29 was released, the test DB is no longer there by defualt. mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" Your approach makes it easier to use as part of a script. It also generates random passwords, which I prefer.

      Veeam also has a Linux based recovery environment that can provide full recovery of Linux VM's into the HC3 system. Unlike windows, the virtio drivers are already built in to the Veeam Linux Recovery ISO so there is no additional step required for it to see the disk to recover to ... so in this example, I just want to restore all of disk vda from the backup repostory to the blank vda disk. Restore the entire disk.

Yep, just because two different pieces of software are both open source, doesn't mean the licenses work together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

How could it correct VMware snapshots? I guess it's more that BtrFS doesn't detect the corruption early enough and our VMware snapshot are nothing but snapshots of corrupt data... That's about the only way I can explain it. General risk with hypervisor level backups. This is a huge reason for either local file based or what I call devops backups. They are at a higher level, so there is way more opportunity for this. But if the system was okay when you took the VMware snap, it should have been okay when you restored it. Regardless of corruption. Yeah, exactly.... and this is why Snapshots are not a backup! Snapshots absolutely are the backup mechanism.

      I haven’t tried it but process substitution may work if you enable envsubst. So rather than an include you might just be able to do: $( nslookup domain.com | yada yada) Driving so don’t feel like typing out anything.
