Move the DataStore
The up.time datastore contains all relevant configuration information for your up.time installation. To move the datastore, copy the following directory to the same location on your new Monitoring Station:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
<uptime_dir>/datastore |
...
| Note |
|---|
...
| Consider compressing the data within this directory before moving the configuration information to minimize transfer time. Also ensure that file transfers are completed in BINARY mode as datastore files may be corrupted if they are transferred in ASCII. |
Start up.time on the new Monitoring StationAfter the datastore directory has been moved to the new Monitoring Station, start the up.time services in the following order.
On Windows:
up.time Data Store
up.time Data Collector
up.time Web Server

Set up other Settings
Some settings may not be included with the configuration and performance data and may need to be individually configured. These parameters may include:
- SMTP/Email Settings (under Config > SMTP Server)
- Java Heap Size
- Scripts and/or plug-in monitors
- UI Only / Reporting Instance Setting
...
When the Monitoring Station is running on the new system, ensure that all agent systems continue to return new performance data and that up.time is registering alerts.
If any functionality stops working after moving to the new system, please contact [email protected] and provide a description of what is not working along with a Problem Report (Config > Problem Reporting).
