Exporting Archive Takes Too Long

[dirkniblick]

I've created a backup script to protect my Rundeck environment. Part of it uses the CLI to export an archive of each project:

/usr/bin/rd projects archives export -f ${PROJ}.zip -i all -p $PROJ

My primary project is (somewhat?) beefy. It has almost 60000 executions from 58 jobs although my rundeckdb.mv.db is only about 350MB (is that big?). Anyhow, this command never seems to finish. I mean, the last time it ran successfully, it took about 6 hours. I tried changing the -i option, but all I get is:

Input error for [export]: Cannot use --include: [jobs] with API < 19
You can use: "export help" to get help.

When I try doing this via the web interface by disabling the executions option, the archive returned in seconds. Leaving set to "all"...it's at 3% after about 10 minutes. So, how do I get the rd-cli to do a "partial" archive export? I have been unable to determine how to "upgrade" my API, however I'm running the newest Rundeck RPMs:

The client uses a default API version of 18 right now, but supports API v19.

if your RD_URL is http://server:port/rundeck for rundeck, then you can set the api version to 19 by changing that to http://server:port/rundeck/api/19

That worked. Thank you!

Closing this issue, I filed a new one about having a smarter way to use the latest common API version: #126
