+## Debugging
+
In case a model plugin doesn't work correctly (ios, procurve, etc.), you can enable live debugging of SSH/Telnet sessions. Just add a `debug` option containing the value true to the `input` section. The log files will be created depending on the parent directory of the logfile option.
The following example will log an active ssh/telnet session `/home/oxidized/.config/oxidized/log/<IP-Adress>-<PROTOCOL>`. The file will be truncated on each consecutive ssh/telnet session, so you need to put a `tailf` or `tail -f` on that file!

As a partial example from ios.rb:
-```

cmd :secret do |cfg|
cfg.gsub! /^(snmp-server community).*/, '\\1 <configuration removed>'

The above strips out snmp community strings from your saved configs.
**NOTE:** Removing secrets reduces the usefulness as a full configuration backup, but it may make sharing configs easier.

Below is an advanced example configuration. You will be able to (optionally) override options per device. The router.db format used is `hostname:model:username:password:enable_password`. Hostname and model will be the only required options, all others override the global configuration sections.

The RESTful API and Web Interface is enabled by configuring the `rest:` parameter in the config file. This parameter can optionally contain a relative URI.

+## Triggered backups
A node can be moved to head-of-queue via the REST API `GET/POST /node/next/[NODE]`.
In the default configuration this node will be processed when the next job worker becomes available, it could take some time if existing backups are in progress. To execute moved jobs immediately a new job can be added:
