[Xymon] how to merge allevent files ?

[Dugan, Darin D [EIT]]

I think merging and sorting is sufficient. Something along the lines of:

sort -n -k 3,4 allevents.server1 allevents.server2 > allevents.merged

You will likely end up with some lines slightly out of their original order -- if their two time strings are identical -- but I don't really see this is a problem. Testing this would be best of course....

Cheers.

Thanks Andrey for your answer,
but my situation is this:
i have 2 servers, each one monitors different things, and i have to migrate to a new server that will monitor all .
So my question is, how to merge the two files ./hist/allevents? .

Probabily i only need to join and sort them using the column starttime but i I'm not sure that this is enough
