Hi Stef,
Thank you very much. That's exactly what I was hoping would work. I will
reply to the list once this has been tested and confirmed on openSUSE 11.1.
Thanks.
Geoff

Hi Everyone,
I have searched the wiki and the previous threads in the mailing list but
haven't found what I am looking for. I need to know if there is a way to:
- Migrate the configuration and the data from a Hobbit 4.2.0 server to a
new Xymon server
Since I want to upgrade the OS underneath from OpenSUSE 10.0 to OpenSUSE
11.1, and also the Hobbit/Xymon version, it is a little more complicated
that an in place "make && make install".
Thank you to anyone who can give suggestions. I can test out any
suggestions.
I did some migrations. It's not that difficult. The config files and the
stuff in
the data directory is all compatible.
So install xymon and configure a basic setup so you can check everything is
working. For the data migration:
- stop xymon
- delete the data directory
- copy the data directory of the old server to the new server
- migrate the config files in etc: don't just copy them, but take over the
stuff
that's changed. Except for bb-hosts and hobbit-clients.cfg, I don't change
that much in the config files.
- start xymon
- point your ciients to the new monitor server.
Don't forget to change the owner of the files. In your new setup this is
probably xymon.
