Overview
Moving an existing up.time Monitoring Station deployment to a new system involves a number of steps to prepare for the move and complete the system migration. Before moving to a new platform, answer the questions in this article regarding your migration objectives.
...
Back up your current configuration
Review Backing up and Recovering up.time for full instructions.
Download and Install the same up.time version on the new Monitoring Station
Use the full up.time installation package to install a clean but same version of up.time on the new Monitoring Station.
Add your new license to the new Monitoring Station
Login Log in to up.time on the new Monitoring Station. Since it will be a fresh up.time install, it will ask you to set the admin password and SMTP server. These values will be reset once the configuration is copied from the old Monitoring Station.
Enter the new license key when prompted.
Shut down up.time on both the current and new Monitoring Stations
To stop the up.time services review - Starting (or restarting ) and Stopping up.time
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. |
After the datastore directory has been moved to the new Monitoring Station, start up.time on the new Monitoring Station review - Starting (or restarting ) and Stopping up.time
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
Validate the Configuration
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.
