I just concluded a three part series on how to backup and restore Log Insight. I just realized that I missed how to backup and restore the SSL certificate on the Log Insight virtual appliance. I will address this oversight in this post and then update the previous posts.
As you know, Log Insight is primarily used through its HTML5 interface. By default, Log Insight ships with a unique SSL certificate per appliance. The Administration section of the Log Insight UI allows a user to upload a PEM certificate to use in place of the self-signed certificate. In this post, I would like to discuss operations you may desire to perform in regards to SSL in Log Insight as well as share a script on how to properly manage all the available options.
