Were are the database/information stored on the current server and can we migrate it to a new server. Is there also a way to backup the data periodicly?

Just copy the ~hobbit/data/ directory over to the new server (the data/hist, data/rrd are the most important ones; data/histlogs and data/hostdata hold the detailed historical logs). These are all plain files, so they are easily backed up. Regards, Henrik

Hi Henrik I have copied the ~hobbit/data files/directories of a Solaris 8 hobbitserver to a Linux RHEL4 server. The history is OK but the graphs don't show. Can you assist me? Thanks Henri Taute

I think you may have to convert your rrd files using rrdtool dump, copy across then use rrdtool restore.

That would indeed be every RRD file. I knocked together a simple shell script when I did a similar unload/reload (Linux/intel 32 bit to Linux/Intel 64 bit)to walk the directories for any given node, unload, scp, then ssh the reload. Tom

Could I get a copy of that script if possible to see what you've done? I am migrating my hobbit installs across to new 64-bit boxes at the moment and noted I couldn't just copy the rrd's so it would be useful to see what I need to do to convert them. It hasn't been a problem on some of the smaller boxes as the rrd data there is only a backup but the main boxes need their trend data retaining. Thanks. Craig
