hardis:org:monitor:backup

Description

Retrieve sfdx sources in the context of a monitoring backup

The command exists in 2 modes: filtered(default & recommended) and full.

Filtered mode (default, better performances)

Automatically skips metadatas from installed packages with namespace.

You can remove more metadata types from backup, especially in case you have too many metadatas and that provokes a crash, using:

  • Manual update of manifest/package-skip-items.xml config file (then commit & push in the same branch)
  • Environment variable MONITORING_BACKUP_SKIP_METADATA_TYPES (example: MONITORING_BACKUP_SKIP_METADATA_TYPES=CustomLabel,StaticResource,Translation): that will be applied to all monitoring branches.

Full mode

Activate it with --full parameter, or variable MONITORING_BACKUP_MODE_FULL=true

Ignores filters (namespaces items & manifest/package-skip-items.xm) to retrieve ALL metadatas, including those you might not care about (reports, translations...)

As we can retrieve only 10000 files by call, the list of all metadatas will be chunked to make multiple calls (and take more time than filtered mode)

In CI/CD

This command is part of sfdx-hardis Monitoring and can output Grafana, Slack and MsTeams Notifications.
