The database admin tool (dbadmin.bat) is a standalone tool that can:
Backup and restore Trellix IPS data from the database.
Archive and restore alerts and packet logs.
Tune your Trellix IPS database and purge unwanted data from it.
Change the password of your Trellix IPS database (this is not the database root password).
You need to shut down the Manager before performing the following tasks:
Data backup
Data backup restore
Data purge
Database tuning
Database password change
You can perform the following activities in the database admin tool regardless of Manager status:
Alert archival
Alert restore
The DB Admin tool is available on the Manager server at <Manager_Install_Dir>\App\bin\dbadmin.bat. Note that you need to execute the tool from the same location as well.
You can also use the Manager to perform some of the tasks mentioned above. Some of these tasks can be time consuming and resource intensive. Because of the standalone nature of this tool, there will be no additional workload on the Manager when you use the tool to perform these tasks.
Note
If you are using the tool, then you will need your database user name and password to complete the tasks that would result in changes to the database.
Note
You will need database root password if you are changing the database user password using the Database Admin tool.
Note
The Database Admin tool displays all activity console messages as well as error messages for tracking purposes.
