My secondary server has been running 4.2.3 for three weeks.

I don't think you have to worry much about Henrik's releases when it comes
to stabilization.  From what I have seen releases are always very stable (by
my standards, that means you should almost never, probably never, see a
crash/something screwy).

 Hi all,


My current hobbit 4.2.0 server, running on HPUX 11v1 has served us well
over the past almost three years, but the old rp5400 with 2x540 Mhz PARISC
chips, monitoring 435 hosts across 3 continents is starting to run out of
steam and its time it be replaced.


I just got two new HP DL380 G5 servers which we purchased to build out as
new Xymon servers (one for prod and one for DR).   I am wondering what is
currently the most stable release of Xymon?  I see 4.3.0-beta2 is the most
recent.  Would that be the best to use for new production monitors?


I am building them with RedHat AS 5 update 2.   Anybody know of any Gotha’s
I should be aware of?


Finally, I have seen comments about people who have written scripts to
transfer the data out of RRD files an old server to their new server.
Since I am migrating from HPUX to RedHat, I gather that is my only option to
migrate the RRD data.   Anyone out there  willing to share their scripts
which do this migration?  That would sure save me a lot of coding and
testing time.


Thanks in Advance,

Bruce
