Most stable version?

["White, Bruce" <bewhite (at) fellowes.com>]

Hi all,

 

My current hobbit 4.2.0 server, running on HPUX 11v1 has served us well
over the past almost three years, but the old rp5400 with 2x540 Mhz
PARISC chips, monitoring 435 hosts across 3 continents is starting to
run out of steam and its time it be replaced.  

 

I just got two new HP DL380 G5 servers which we purchased to build out
as new Xymon servers (one for prod and one for DR).   I am wondering
what is currently the most stable release of Xymon?  I see 4.3.0-beta2
is the most recent.  Would that be the best to use for new production
monitors? 

 

I am building them with RedHat AS 5 update 2.   Anybody know of any
Gotha's I should be aware of?

 

Finally, I have seen comments about people who have written scripts to
transfer the data out of RRD files an old server to their new server.
Since I am migrating from HPUX to RedHat, I gather that is my only
option to migrate the RRD data.   Anyone out there  willing to share
their scripts which do this migration?  That would sure save me a lot of
coding and testing time.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Bruce
