Moving to a new server

Post by hypatia »

I'm planning to retire my current Cacti server, but it's got dozens of graphs and a year of data. I'd like to migrate it all to a new box. Does anyone have any hints to share?

I know I've got to:

1. Install Cacti and its dependencies on the new server (running Ubuntu).

2. Copy the scripts and rra directories.

3. Dump the cacti database from MySQL, and import it on the new server.

Is that basically it? Any gotcha's I should look out for?

If you are changing OS or CPU arch, you have to export and import the rrd file from one system to the other.
