FBDataGuard является инструментом для мониторинга баз данных Firebird и предотвращения их повреждений и проблем с производительностью. FBDataGuard наблюдает за БД и сервером, делает правильные бэкапы, собирает статистику и посылает уведомления администратору о проблемах с БД.

 

FBDataGuard предназначен для автоматического обслуживания важных баз данных Firebird, особенно в удаленных офисах и поставляемых совместно ПО, использующим Firebird, для администрирования и обслуживания БД. Также FBDataGuard служит для продвинутой починки защищенных баз данных, в случае серъезного повреждения (обычно, железа).

Основные функции FBDataGuard:

Как это работает

FBDataGuard is installed on the same server where Firebird is running (it is necessary to watch for important server parameters). After installation it is necessary to specify databases for monitoring.

FBDataGuard has several dozens of jobs, which runs on schedule; many of these jobs are designed to check some parameters and asses are they in the frames of safe boundaries, and others jobs are designed to run backups, get statistics and perform validation.

FBDataGuard is designed to be safe: for example, if FBDataGuard sees that there is not enough free space to complete backup, it will not run backup, but issue an alert to warn administrator instead.

To add databases for monitoring and set parameters for maintenance jobs FBDataGuard has embedded web-console. Web-console shows statuses of server and databases monitoring jobs and allows changing of job's properties

Access to the web-console is protected by username and password, and by default is restricted to the localhost only (it can be tied to the specific IP address, of course).

Of course, FBDataGuard web-console can be accessed from remote computers and mobile devices. It gives an ability to control Firebird databases on remote locations and be sure that they are healthy.

FBDataGuard can be also configured by set of ini-files, in order to create easy to move configuration and use it on multiple computers with similar Firebird setup.

FBDataGuard and big Firebird databases

Usually FBDataGuard is used in production environment, especially in the following cases:

• Databases with business-critical data inside
• Large databases (>100Gb)
• 24x7 databases
• Databases without administration support
• Databases at remote locations
