Reset Second Factor of Authentication for the Default Admin

If you have lost your authentication device, or cannot retrieve the verification code required to complete authentication, you can reset the secondary factor of authentication.

Note: Authentication factor reset can only be done for the admin account.

To reset the authentication factor:

  • Navigate to <Installation_Dir>\bin folder. By default the path is C:\ManageEngine\Log360UEBA\bin.
  • Find and run the resetAdminTFAEnrollment.bat file
  • You can now re-enroll for the secondary authentication factor by logging in to Log360 UEBA.

Auto database backup

The auto database backup feature enables you to backup the database before installing service packs, thereby preventing database corruption or data loss in the event of a service pack installation failure.

If you use PostgreSQL as the database server, an automatic database backup will occur when the Update Manager is invoked. However, the following conditions must be met to perform the backup:

  1. The free space in the installation directory is greater than the total size of the database.
  2. The database size is less than the maximum database backup size (10 GB).

Scenario 1:

If both conditions are met, users will be prompted with options to either skip the backup and continue the service pack installation, or proceed with the backup and resume the installation afterward.

You will receive the following pop-up when both conditions are met.

Scenario 2:

If any of the conditions are not met, users will be prompted to either skip the backup and continue the service pack installation, or retry the installation after meeting the conditions for automatic database backup.

You will receive the following pop-up if the free space in the installation directory is less than the total size of the database.

Auto database backup

You will receive the following pop-up if the database size is higher than the maximum database backup size (10 GB).

Auto database backup

In both scenarios, it is highly recommended that users backup the database before installing the service pack to ensure database stability.

If you use MS SQL as the database server, it is recommended to manually backup the database before installing the service packs, as Log360 UEBA does not support auto database backup for MS SQL.

You will receive the following prompt once the Update Manager is invoked.
