I didn't have any trouble moving the graphs, and I made a similar leap in
versions, but I stuck with the 32 bit architecture and didn't have any
problems. I did have problems with my DR/Backup server, which is 64 bit,
but recompiling and reinstalling rrd and Xymon fixed them. I didn't try to
move the rrd files onto this machine. Since its my backup its getting all
the same data that my main server is so its building its own graphs, if a
true DR situation arose we could live without the graphs.

I did this recently but also changed the hostname and upgraded from 4.2.3
to 4.3.10 at the same time and had trouble with the graphs. Any obvious
gotchas to look out for there?

I recently moved to a new server. The way I did it was to install the
newest Xymon release on the new server. Set up a Xymon proxy on the old
server so it can feed both the old and new servers. Make sure the new
installation is running right. Then use scp to move over all of the data
directory. Turn off your old machine. If you have any proxies running
anywhere you will have to point them to the new server after you have
switched over, before you shutdown the old server. Same with any network
tests you are running from your main server. That's about it, it went
really smoothly for me. If you are running any network tests from your main
server, be sure the firewalls are set up for the new server.
Thanks,

Our current Xymon server is running on a vmware vm. The powers-that-be
want it to run on a physical machine. Unfortunately there is no V2P
converter. So I've set up a new Linux box. Looking for the best way to
migrate from old server to new one
