Xymon on Centos7 and migrate history and rrd from old Xymon
Good day
My current Xymon still runs on a now unsupported centos5 server.
I am prepping a Centos7 server for my new xymon instance
1 - I found the xymon repo, please refer to https://centos.jordy.eu/centos-test/ Is this a trusted repository to use?
2 - Is there a guide available that I can follow to migrate xymon configs, history data and rrd data to the new server?
Kind regards

I would go with the rpms from terabithia, http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/
I just rsync'd the content over when I moved from Cent 6 to Cent 7 and fixed paths in custom scripts. You just need to match up where the RPMs expect the content.

As long as you are not changing platform, you can simply copy over the Xymon configuration- and data-files.
If you do change platform (eg from a 32-bit to 64-bit OS) then the RRD files need to be dumped to XML on the old system and then restored on the new.
