I built a new Xymon server this week with v4.3.7 and all looks good.
Can I copy event history from my current Xymon/Hobbit v4.2.2 server to the new ?
I did try copying files/directories over from /xymon/data/<hist>&<histlogs>, but that didn't seem to work...
It should - that is where the history-logs are being stored, and the format hasn't changed. The "hist" directory is the most important one; the "histlogs" are only used when you drill down into an old status.
Check file permissions ... and remember to copy the huge "allevents" logfile.
The old graph data is stored in the "rrd" directory, you probably want to copy that over as well. If the old and the new system has different CPU architecture (notably, if you are moving from a 32-bit CPU to 64-bit CPU), you will have to convert them with rrdtool, though.
