[Xymon] upgrade to new server

[Ryan Novosielski]

I've tried this. I found that having the old server's name in the /etc/hosts file of the new server made the scripts run where they didn't work without it. The good part about this is that you can try it first if you're not using the same server.

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.
 
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.
 
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?
 
Is there anything else I should be thinking about before making this move?
 
Thanks,
-Ben
