Creating backup from controller on Trusty fails

[Xav Paice]

Juju 2.4.3, controller running on Trusty.

When I try to create a backup of the controller model:

~$ juju create-backup -m controller
ERROR while creating backup archive: while dumping juju state database: error dumping databases: error executing "/usr/lib/juju/bin/mongodump": ERROR: unrecognised option '--sslAllowInvalidCertificates'; ; Export MongoDB data to BSON files.; ; options:; --help produce help message; -v [ --verbose ] be more verbose (include multiple times; for more verbosity e.g. -vvvvv); --version print the program's version and exit; -h [ --host ] arg mongo host to connect to ( <set ; name>/s1,s2 for sets); --port arg server port.

Hence, we have no backups of this (production) environment.

I'm pretty sure this will be additional flags for backup being passed to an older mongo (probably 2.4 in trusty).

yep. Trusty runs mongo 2.4 which doesn't have the same flags as 3.2 on
Xenial.

Subscribed field-medium as this affects production environments.

[Anastasia (anastasia-macmood)]

Removing from a milestone as this work will not be done in 2.4 series.

[Andrea Ieri (aieri)]

This is still happening on 2.7.4 controllers, subscribing field high
