Manual Update of a router configuration

This button is used to immediately record any changes in the settings of the Mikrotik type router, made in the system into the current configuration on this router.

The ISPadmin system automatically records differential configuration to routers periodically every 5 minutes.

Manual update of the configuration of the Mikrotik routers is also possible to run with a command from a command line: /usr/local/script/ispadmin/update_conf.pl. For example, in case of need to upgrade the settings immediately, due to a tuning out of a configuration.

More convenient and more transparent way of manual updating of a configuration , however, is using this button directly from the web interface. Click on the icon to open a new window showing the progress of the upgrade of the router.

If case that the option in Settings / Syst. settings / Mikrotik, the item "qt_debug=1", is activated, a complete list of commands that are "sent" to the Mikrotik via API or via SSH appears there. This makes it possible when problems occur to detect the irregularities in the recording of commands into Mikrotik. When using API, the status of each sending command is displayed, whether it was finished successfully or whether an error occur. When using SSH this is not possible, since SSH does not return error conditions.

The condition of showing up the icon Update of the router configuration, is the active status of the router. This means that its header is under-coloured with blue grey. In addition, the router must not run in monitoring mode, in which the configurations of the device are only read, but never recorded. . To change this item you can make adjustments in the router settings, where the box Only monitoring of the router must be so deselect. For proper function, as in the case of automatic updates, a communication interface SSH or API must be activated in the Mikrotik settings IP / Services.
