[Xymon] upgrading

[Tom Moore]

I feel your pain.. I just went through it myself.  I just installed a fresh install and then modified all my scripts/variables by hand, comparing side by side.  It is long and arduous, but for our production system I wanted to be extra careful.  It wasn't that bad, and you'll get even more experience.  Kinda like building Linux from Archlinux, Gentoo, or Slackware.  You get to see a more intimate view of the software :)

Greetings and happy new year -

After *many* years running Hobbit v4.2, I am finally upgrading to the latest Xymon (and moving to new hardware).

I understand there is an upgrade script during the build process, but I wonder if it might be more "clean" to simply start with a fresh install, copy the RRDs (and associated history logs) to their correct locations, and manually configure the various files.

Thoughts? Am I worrying too much about the upgrade script? Should I just let it do its business?

Thanks for reading, and thanks for such an excellent monitoring system.
