Restoring a resource version

You can restore a previous version of a resource, for example, if you need to recover the resource in case of mistakes made when making changes.

Versions of automatically generated agents cannot be restored separately because they are created when the parent collector is modified. If you want to restore a version of an automatically generated agent, you need to restore the corresponding version of the parent collector.

To restore a previous version of a resource:

1. In the KUMA web interface, in the Resources section, select the type of resources that you need.

   This opens a window opens with a table of available resources of this type.

   If you want to view all resources, in the Resources section, go to the List tab.

2. Select the check box next to a resource and click the Show version history button in the upper part of the table.

   This opens the window with the version history of the resource.

3. In the row of the relevant version, in the Action column, click the Restore button.

   You can also restore a version by clicking the row of this version and clicking the Restore button in the lower part of the window.

   You can restore only previous versions of a resource; for the current version, the Restore button is not available.

   If the structure of the resource has changed after a KUMA update, restoring its saved versions may not be possible.

4. Confirm the action and, if necessary, add a comment. If you do not add a comment, the Restored from v.<number of the restored version> comment is automatically added to the version.

The resource version is restored as a new version and become the current version.

If the resource for which you restored the version is added to the active service, this also changes the state of the service. You must restart the service to apply the resource change.
