How to move configuration from one Cacti server to another.

Post by rroman »

I am new to Cacti. Is there a way to move configuration from one Cacti server to another?

So new Cacti sever will provide exactly the same service as a previous one.

Any ideas?

Yes, I found some info on migration here:

http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=3458

Now, I think if it is a good idea to migrate from Gentoo to Ubuntu. Generally there should be data bases migrated

One more thing needs to be done to migrate from one server to another - copy rrd files.


Before copying the files, I should stop the poller using the web interface. Does any one now how to stop poller as there is no option to do that in Cacti interface?
