Where are you seeing this data? It looks like everything installed properly, not sure why you got an error regarding php-pear-HTML-Template-IT-1.3.0-2.el5.noarch.rpm

ok so I worked throught the backup and restore doc. and ran the restore repair which was fine, I then saw the last nit that linked to

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=166

the first block of code does not ever finish or even generate the perfdata tarball, do I have to do this step, if we don't care about moving over graph data?

is that the only thing that;s missing is the graph data?

You would only need to do any of that if you are switching from a 32bit to 64bit system.

which we are - my question is what data does it move?

it is not working as I mentioned , so if it needs to be done then I would prefer a remote session for assistance in doing this

If you don't care about moving over performance data (which can take hours to complete), you can just run the following on the new server

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/lib/mrtg/*
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/*
this will delete all the existing perfdata and allow new records to be created.
