[HOWTO] Scripts to migrate RRDs from Win32 to Linux

[cpt_ahab]

Here are my scripts for ex- and importing the RRD files to my new linux-cacti box

They are very dirty but they work.

On the win32 side
open a file
put this line into it

Code: Select all

FOR /R E:\your\path\to\cacti\rra %%f IN (*.*) DO rrdtool dump %%f > %%f.xml

save it as export.bat in you cacti/rra folder and run the script.
it produces files like <ds-name>.rrd.xml. it will produce some errors for files in the rra-folder that arent rrd-files. but this is no problem.

afterwards mount the windows-folder in your linux box
edit the following script for your needs

mounted is the folder where your cacti/rra Folder is mounted
cactipath is where your new rra-folder is on your linuxbox.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#import xml 2 rrd
cactipath='/your/path/to/cacti/rra'
mounted='/mnt/somedrive'
files=$(ls $mounted | grep .xml | cut -d "." -f 1 )
for i in $files; do
        rrdtool restore "$mounted/$i.rrd.xml" "$cactipath/$i.rrd"
        echo "$i.xml nach $cactipath/$i.rrd importiert"
done

run the script and you are done
your rrd-files should be in your cacti/rra folder

I have been thinking about writing a nice set of scripts that will do this work either live or in batch from and to win32/64, linux32/64, OSX, Freebsd32/64 and etc....

Haven't the time...
