# Migration guide to new Background Jobs backend As of **MISP** version `2.4.151` we introduced a simpler way to handle background jobs without relying in CakeResque as this library is no longer mantained. For the time being both background jobs backends will be supported, but we plan to phase out the CakeResque one in a near future. The new backend requires [Supervisor](http://supervisord.org/) and some extra PHP packages. **This guide is intended for Ubuntu/Debian systems** ## Install requirements Run on your MISP instance the following commands. 1. Install **Supervisord**: ``` sudo apt install supervisor -y ``` 2. Install required PHP packages: ``` cd /var/www/MISP/app sudo -u www-data php composer.phar require --with-all-dependencies supervisorphp/supervisor:^4.0 \ guzzlehttp/guzzle \ php-http/message \ lstrojny/fxmlrpc ``` 3. Add the following settings at the bottom of the **Supervisord** conf file, usually located in: `/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf` ``` [inet_http_server] port=127.0.0.1:9001 username=supervisor password=PWD_CHANGE_ME ``` 4. Use the following configuration as a template for the services, usually located in: `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/misp-workers.conf` ``` [group:misp-workers] programs=default,email,cache,prio,update [program:default] directory=/var/www/MISP command=/var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake start_worker default process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d numprocs=5 autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=false stderr_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log stdout_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log directory=/var/www/MISP user=www-data [program:prio] directory=/var/www/MISP command=/var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake start_worker prio process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d numprocs=5 autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=false stderr_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log stdout_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log directory=/var/www/MISP user=www-data [program:email] directory=/var/www/MISP command=/var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake start_worker email process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d numprocs=5 autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=false stderr_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log stdout_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log directory=/var/www/MISP user=www-data [program:update] directory=/var/www/MISP command=/var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake start_worker update process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d numprocs=1 autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=false stderr_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log stdout_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log directory=/var/www/MISP user=www-data [program:cache] directory=/var/www/MISP command=/var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake start_worker cache process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d numprocs=5 autostart=true autorestart=true redirect_stderr=false stderr_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log stdout_logfile=/var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log user=www-data ``` 5. Restart **Supervisord** to load the changes: ``` sudo service supervisor restart ``` 6. Check **Supervisord** workers are running: ``` $ sudo supervisorctl status misp-workers:cache_00 RUNNING pid 1673228, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:cache_01 RUNNING pid 1673225, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:cache_02 RUNNING pid 1673375, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:cache_03 RUNNING pid 1673398, uptime 1:37:52 misp-workers:cache_04 RUNNING pid 1673303, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:default_00 RUNNING pid 1673222, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:default_01 RUNNING pid 1673385, uptime 1:37:52 misp-workers:default_02 RUNNING pid 1673391, uptime 1:37:52 misp-workers:default_03 RUNNING pid 1673223, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:default_04 RUNNING pid 1673393, uptime 1:37:52 misp-workers:email_00 RUNNING pid 1673394, uptime 1:37:52 misp-workers:email_01 RUNNING pid 1673312, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:email_02 RUNNING pid 1673224, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:email_03 RUNNING pid 1673227, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:email_04 RUNNING pid 1673333, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:prio_00 RUNNING pid 1673279, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:prio_01 RUNNING pid 1673304, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:prio_02 RUNNING pid 1673305, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:prio_03 RUNNING pid 1673232, uptime 1:37:54 misp-workers:prio_04 RUNNING pid 1673319, uptime 1:37:53 misp-workers:update_00 RUNNING pid 1673327, uptime 1:37:53 ``` ## MISP Config 1. Go to your **MISP** instances `Server Settings & Maintenance` page, and then to the new [SimpleBackgroundJobs]((https://localhost/servers/serverSettings/SimpleBackgroundJobs)) tab. 2. Update the `SimpleBackgroundJobs.supervisor_password` with the password you set in the _Install requirements_ section 3. 3. Update the `SimpleBackgroundJobs.supervisor_user` with the supervisord username. (default: supervisor) 4. Verify Redis and other settings are correct and then set `SimpleBackgroundJobs.enabled` to `true`. 5. Use **MISP** normally and visit [Administration -> Jobs](/jobs/index) to check Jobs are running correctly. If there are any issues check the logs: * /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers-errors.log * /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/misp-workers.log 5. Once the new workers are functioning as expected, you can remove the previous workers service: ```bash $ sudo systemctl stop --now misp-workers $ sudo systemctl disable --now misp-workers ``` ### Notes Scheduled tasks (TasksController) are not supported with the new backend, however this feature is going to be deprecated, it is recommended to use cron jobs instead.
