Migrating Existing Disabled Tests When Migrating Xymon to New Server?
Hello,
We are in the process of preparing to migrate our existing/current Xymon server (running 4.3.10 from source on RHEL 5) onto a new Xymon server (running 4.3.21-4.el7.terabithia from Terabithia RPM on RHEL 7). I was able to find some really helpful and great stuff in the list archives regarding migrating tips and just general help in getting the new server set up, and I greatly appreciate all of that!!
However, I was wondering if there was a way to migrate existing Disabled tests' statuses/info (i.e. we have X machine currently disabled for XYZ tests until some date or for a certain amount of time, Y machine disabled for YZ tests for Z amount of time, etc., etc.) from our current Xymon server to our new Xymon server, so I won't have to disable all the tests on the new Xymon server by hand after the migration is complete? While possible to put them in all by hand, I'd rather not have to if there is way to migrate that info over! ;)
Is this possible to do? Or will I have to just put in the disabled tests by hand?
I wasn't able to really find much in the list archives that really fully answers my question. I did find this in the list archives: http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2005-November/004600.html, which looks like it could be of use (even though I'm not migrating from BB). However, it looks like my disabled directory in the Xymon data directory on our current Xymon server is completely empty, even though we have quite a few disabled tests in place on the system. (Is this normal?) Is there by chance another place where the disabled tests info might be located on disk? Or is there a way to grab all the current disabled tests info and put that info into one of more files on disk for use with the attached script in the above archived message link?
Any guidance or assistance is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!

I wrote a script for copying blue status messages, way back. As is the way of these things, T.J.Yang improved on it:
