Hi,
I am planning to move from hobbit to Xymon. Is there any migration plan, or steps to follow. I know the challenge would be the data files and trying to figure out how to move those to new server. In fact I have some old data that I need to bring into this new server so I can go back and see the health of the system.
Thanks
bikash
Data is in three (I think) directories here ~hobbituser/server/

Not really. Bikash doesn't say what OS he's running on the old and new servers, and actual locations may depend much on that. On Red Hat, Fedora, and Centos Linux you generally wind up with the monitor data (rrds and the like) under /var/lib/hobbit, and the configuration data in /etc/hobbit. ~hobbit/server has soft-links to three locations within those paths, but that's hardly the be-all/end-all of it. At least, that's the case if you use the readily available rpms, builds from source may default entirely differently.
Bikash, if you'll state what platforms you want to migrate to/from, folks with experience in them may be able to help. I have not done an install of a build since the name change, but I wasn't aware that the path names had been changed from hobbit to xymon.
I should specify what I said. Those directories are for the default source build.
