RSS feed contains two items, not one, for each incremental backup

Hi there,

I have successfully set up RSS for my incremental backups. The rss.xml file is being generated, but oddly for each successful backup, two item entries are generated in the data:

Reports Created by Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL at Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:15:03 +0000 tion>
[/HTML]

You can see that the URLs to each link are different (generated 2 seconds apart according to the timestamp) but clicking on these links results in the same backup report information being displayed, e.g.:

[HTML]incremental-run Mon Nov 10 11:15:02 2008 1 Backup succeeded[/HTML]

Has anyone seen this before? My RSS.header file is the default with the titles changed etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

clearly it shows you are running two instances of reports, the generated xml file shows two different webserver-url links and time stamps, you might be running scheduler and reporter in sequence( few seconds apart?)

which version of ZRM are you running? are you using CLI or GUI ?

Try running reporter manually using following command and check rss.xml file if it generates double entries..

/usr/bin/mysql-zrm-reporter --type html --output --latest

Hi

I'm using 1.2.1 from the CLI.

When I run the backup from the command line the RSS only has one entry, which is correct.

My cron job was using the following:

 /usr/bin/zrm-pre-scheduler --action backup --backup-set incremental-run --backup-level 1

The log output didn't appear to indicate two runs, but if I substitute the above job with:

/usr/bin/mysql-zrm-scheduler --now --backup-set incremental-run

Then the RSS is updated correctly, with only one entry per backup.

Any idea why using the zrm-pre-scheduler would result in this behaviour?

This looks to be a bug in the zrm-pre-scheduler, reporter is being called from mysql-zrm-scheduler and zrm-pre-scheduler, can you file a bug on this issue at

we can attach you a fix immediately.

patch for this bug is attached.
pl copy existing /usr/bin/pre-zrm-scheduler to /usr/bin/pre-zrm-scheduler.org
copy attached file as /usr/bin/pre-zrm-scheduler
chmod 750 /usr/bin/pre-zrm-scheduler
chown mysql:mysql /usr/bin/pre-zrm-scheduler

This works for me as expected.
