AirGap Jobs

Introduction

AirGap Jobs manages and schedules SyncIQ replication policies with enhanced security controls. This guide shows you how to create AirGap policies on your Production Cluster and configure job parameters including frequency and ransomware response settings.

Create AirGap Policies

You must create SyncIQ replication policies for AirGap on your Production Cluster. Name these policies with the prefix rw-airgap- so Eyeglass recognizes them as AirGap Policies.

Restrict AirGap policies to run only on your Dedicated Vault Pool.

After each Configuration Replication job, Eyeglass adds new AirGap policies from your Production Cluster. You can find all AirGap policies under the AirGap dropdown in the Jobs Window.

Schedule AirGap Jobs

1. Open AirGap Module
   Access the AirGap Module in the Eyeglass Web UI from the desktop icon or the bottom left Main Menu.

2. Select Policy
   Find the policy you want to schedule. Click the policy to open Job Settings.

3. Configure Job Parameters
   In Job Settings, configure your Replication Job Parameters. Set the job frequency using Schedule. You can enable or disable these options:

   • Pause data replication when active ransomware events detected: When enabled, AirGap stops running if Ransomware Defender detects an active event (excluding routine test events).
   • Managed by Vault Agent: Enable this option for Vault Agent to manage the AirGap policy. When disabled, the policy becomes Basic AirGap.
   info

   Job Settings shows "Target Cluster Credentials." Leave these empty for Enterprise AirGap configurations.

Run AirGap Jobs Manually

Run an AirGap job manually from your Vault agent VM:

1. Start Job
   Use this command:

   ecactl airgap startjob --job <job-name>

   Replace <job-name> with your specific job name.

2. List Available Jobs
   View all available job names:

   ecactl airgap list

This starts your selected AirGap job directly from the Vault agent VM.
