How to troubleshoot the snapshot command in Oracle NoSQL Database

Question

The command “snapshot create” is showing the following message when something is not wrong. But there is not details about what was happened

kv -> snapshot create -name TEST
Create data snapshot succeeded but not on all components
Successfully backup configurations on sn1, sn2, sn3

Is there a way, to know the components failing ? There is not a lot of information in the documentation about how to do this

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the flag -json. the JSON output shows more information and allow to see what exactly happened it

Here an example when everything is ok

snapshot create -name BACKUP -json 
{
 "operation" : "snapshot operation",
 "returnCode" : 5000,
 "description" : "Operation ends successfully",
 "returnValue" : {
   "snapshotName" : "210705-133631-BACKUP",
   "successSnapshots" : [ "admin1", "admin2", "rg1-rn1", "rg1-rn2", "rg1-rn3", "rg2-rn1", "rg2-rn2", "rg2-rn3", "rg3-rn1", "rg3-rn2", "rg3-rn3" ],
   "failureSnapshots" : [ ],
   "successSnapshotConfigs" : [ "sn1", "sn2", "sn3" ],
   "failureSnapshotConfigs" : [ ]
 }
}

Here an example when there is a failure

snapshot create -name BACKUP -json 
{
 "operation" : "snapshot operation",
 "returnCode" : 5500,
 "description" : "Operation ends successfully",
 "returnValue" : {
   "snapshotName" : "210705-133737-BACKUP",
   "successSnapshots" : [ "admin1", "admin2", "rg1-rn1", "rg1-rn2", "rg1-rn3", "rg2-rn1", "rg2-rn2", "rg2-rn3", "rg3-rn1", "rg3-rn2" ],
   "failureSnapshots" : [ "rg3-rn3" ],
   "successSnapshotConfigs" : [ "sn1", "sn2", "sn3" ],
   "failureSnapshotConfigs" : [ ]
 }
}

See the field returnCode.
