If you migrate an RRD-based tool like SmokePing, Cacti or ZeroD you may run into the problem, that the target system can no longer use the historic data, if the default number representation changes (big/little endian, 32/64 Bit, …).
In all these cases the following procedure should work. It’s important you dump on the original architecture and restore on the target system.
If you have a Zero Service
running at some URL like http://zero.example.org/zero/, it’s quite simple to
connect host objects in Nagios to the correct view of performance data.
Nagios provides two host attributes for this purpose: action_url, notes_url
We updated the Zero packages on SourceForge.net yesterday.
It’s done, yesterday we published an important update of the Zero RRD Framework at SourceForge. You will find the latest code in the SubVersion Repository, but also a snapshot in the Download Section.
You can just download and extract the tar.gz archives for zerod and
zero-agent in your /opt folder and follow the manual in the doc folder.
Any feedback and help is appreciated.
Soon SourceForge.net will present a new release of the Zero RRD Framework, that provides a simple but powerful service for real time graphs.
