<p class="MsoNormal">I see that upgrade steps are pretty well documented for moving from BB to xymon, and even upgrading from hobbit 4.2 to 4.3x on the same server. I am looking at upgrading both my server and my install of xymon to a new server (this is for
my remaining monitoring server in another network location). So I wanted to be sure I am reading this correctly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am moving from Centos 5 to Centos 6. Moving from Hobbit 4.2 to Xymon 4.3.7 (plus dnstimeout.patch). I will copy manually the bb-hosts contents to hosts.cfg. The rest of the configs are pretty standard default installation stuff, and I
will modify as needed those config files. What I’m most concerned with is the historical data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see that the build/upgrade430.sh script basically renames files, but nothing to do with stuff in data/hist, data/histlogs, and rrd files. Am I going to be ok with simply rsyncing those files over to the new server?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anything else I should be thinking about before making this move?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
