Batch load of the complete configuration

[new]

We installed Cacti on the a new Server. Is it possible to load all the configuration from the old machine (devices, graphs, users, etc) on the new server?

Hallo new,

yes thats possible

scp -r <cacti path> <new host>:<new path>
mysql dump > <file>.sql

#new Host
mysql < <file>.sql # like mysqlphpbak-0.1.1

Thanks you very much. We'll try it.

Depending on the hardware change you may not be able to easily move the rrd files. You may have to dump them to xml and then back.

Hello,

I tried to move all the configurations and rrd to the new system, everything seems to be OK, but the polling is not working! I also cannot compile cactid with an error message "MySQL libraries not found", although the libraries ARE THERE! The cactid version is different on the new server. It there something in the database where is remembered the version of cactid?

You may have to add a configure option for mysql-devel packages to make cactid successfully

Thank you very much for your reply! In fact, we don't have mysql-devel installed on the server. Maybe you know where could I download some version of it that would be compatible with our mysql version 8.41?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi

which operating system are you using ?

[new]

We use Linux. Now cactid is working, the problem was that the mysql libraries were in some directory not under /usr. But we still did not install mysql-devel. Will cactid work correctly without it, or is it still necessary to install it?

IMHO, if you managed to build cactid, then it will run.

Can you post this :

Code: Select all

$ ldd /path/to/cactid/bin/cactid
