Upgrade steps
list Ben Poppy
I see that there are some pretty clear upgrade steps when moving from Hobbit 4.2.x to Xymon 4.3.x, but are there any upgrade steps when moving from Xymon 4.3.4 to 4.3.7 by chance? Or will the make install not overwrite the customized configuration files (hosts.cfg, analysys.cfg, etc)?

Running "make install" is intended to keep your current configuration files. (But I'd always make a copy of them, just in case I bungled something). Regards, Henrik

I use the following approach: 1. Install each version of Xymon to separate directory, for example: /u01/app/xymon/product/xymon.4.3.4 /u01/app/xymon/product/xymon.4.3.7 2. Make symb link /u01/app/xymon/product/xymon -> /u01/app/xymon/product/xymon.4.3.4 and use /u01/app/xymon/product/xymon - path where needed (web-server config, custom scripts, etc) 3. After new version is installed - just compare (if need) changes in config files (ne woptions, settings, etc), copy your config, copy or move rrd, etc. to new path, update ports (if non-stanmdard used), etc. Then just stop old one, start new one. This will also minimize downtime. Best regards, Andrey Chervonets http://www.cominder.eu/
