Monitoring and long-term reporting for IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. Provides a data bridge from SPP to InfluxDB and provides visualization dashboards via Grafana.
part 6 “Create SPPmon .conf files required for SPPmon execution” , when script registered passwords in config files for SPPmon GUI user, and sppmon SSH user for spp and vsnap servers
When entering the password on the second time for each of the 3 users , we had a message “2 Passwords do not match” despite the fact that we entered two identical passwords
I was then obliged to break the script execution
To solve this, we changed the content of the script spectrum-protect-sppmon/scripts/addConfigFile.py by replacing is_password=True by is_password=False in all 4 locations of this assignment
It went then smoothly
Required Actions
[ ] Test this behavior
[ ] Debug the steps and log the passwords
[ ] manually check for identity
[ ] fix the comparison within the bash/python code.
additional context
It is important to keep these passwords flagged as passwords, as otherwise they would be logged and printed to the console.
Both should not happen.
