Hello,
I am in the process of moving an old 4.3.12 (built from source) installation to a new server which will be running the 4.3.28 Terabithia RPMs.
The old server has two very large directories - '/home/xymon/server/www/rep' and '/home/xymon/server/www/snap'. (The whole BB/xymon service was run out of the home directory.)
Each directory is about 5GB in size. So I'm wondering if their contents need to be copied across to the new server?
As far as I am aware we do not usually create actual reports of any sort. So is it generally okay to just delete the contents of both of these directories, perhaps keeping the past few months worth of reports?
I see that the man page for 'reports.cgi' mentions about using a cron job to clean the directory (or unset the '--noclean' option if used). This is probably something we should look into for the new server. Should the same be done for the 'snap' directory too?
Thanks,
John.
