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.
