Backing up Maximo Monitor

If Maximo Monitor is deployed on IBM Cloud® , Amazon Web Services, or an on-premises environment, you back up MongoDB and the namespace for Maximo Monitor.

Before you begin

• Before you back up Maximo Monitor, you need to back up the IoT tool. For more information, see Backing up the IoT tool.
• You need access to the Red Hat® OpenShift® command-line interface (CLI). Make sure that the oc command is in your path and that you have administrator credentials. For more information, see Getting started with Open Shift CLI.
• You need to install the yq command-line interface, which is a lightweight and portable command-line processor for YAML, JSON, and XML. For more information, see yq Quick usage guide.

About this task

Maximo Monitor depends on the IoT tool. Because they share a relational database, you don't need to back up the relational database for Maximo Monitor separately.

You can back up Maximo Monitor by using manual steps or you can use the Maximo Application Suite DevOps Ansible® Collection. For more information, see Maximo Application Suite DevOps Ansible Collection/Backup and Restore.
