Migrating to new server + Xymon version - want to preserve data
Hi,
Is it possible to copy over data from old xymon server to a new xymon server? And if so, what data do I need to copy to preserve all historic data (graphs, alerts etc.)?
Regards,
Carl Melgaard
Hi Carl,
I just did this with a new server. From the old server, I did
rsync -avh /var/lib/xymon/ new.server:/var/lib/xymon
rsync -avh /usr/share/xymon/ new.server:/usr/share/xymon
rsync -avh /etc/xymon/ new.server:/etc/xymon
scp /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon.conf new.server:/etc/httpd/conf.d
You have to change the server's hostname in xymonserver.cfg on the new server. But after that, everything should run.

Hi Carl,
did that a few times. I copied over the data directory to the new server (which should have all the data you want including the rrd and historic data) and then also the .chk files from the tmp directory on the old server. That should be enough.
Cheers, Torsten

Hi,
If you go from 32bit to 64bit, you can not copy the rrd files. You have to export them to xml on the old server, transfer the xml to the new server and import them on the new server.
