Local Snapshots

This section covers the Metering Manager Local Snapshots.

In the Local Snapshot tab of the Metering Manager, you can take a snapshot of the current instance, revert to an earlier snapshot of the instance, or manage existing snapshots within the snapshot tree.

By default, the Metering Manager creates an initial instance snapshot after the template is downloaded.

You can create a new snapshot by clicking the Take Snapshot button.



The new snapshot is added to the snapshot tree, under the initial application snapshot.

Figure 1. Metering Manager Local Snapshots Overview

From the Local Snapshots action menu , you can configure automatic snapshots, view the automatic snapshot settings, and delete all created snapshots. When configuring automatic snapshots, you can set the following parameters:

  • The maximum number of stored snapshots

    Note

    If this number is exceeded, the oldest snapshots are deleted so new snapshots can be created.

  • The time interval when to create an automatic snapshot

  • The point in time when the automatic snapshot process starts
