[rrd-users] Re: MRTG to RRDTOOL Migration

[Simon Mullis]

Hi

If you are polling the same targets then why not, when you are happy with
the new environment, use the current MRTG log files and let MRTG itself do
the conversion to RRD format?  By this I mean copy over the MRTG .log files
to the new system and let it make the migration.  This way you still have
the roll-back and are in no danger of losing any historic data.

Make sure your targets and DIR settings are the same between the boxes and
it should be painless. (I recently did a very similar thing - although we
had far less than 8 years worth!!)

Good luck.

SM

Subject: [rrd-users] MRTG to RRDTOOL Migration


Are there any good docs on pulling old historical data from an older MRTG
box and appending that data into an existing RRDTool environment?
 
My scenario is that I have an older MRTG box with 8 years worth of averages
on it, that I need for historical baselining.  I am building a new box that
will be using RRDTool to watch the entire network.  I would like to take
that historical data from the old box, and append it to the new data being
gathered on the new box.
 
Thanks,
