Hi Doug check out http://docs.opsview.org/doku.php?id=opsview-community:migratinghardware for info on migrating your existing setup to a new host. You may need to tweak dependencies on this to get them right on the new host then you can reinstall opsview on the old master and make it a slave using the standard documentation
There are ways of bulk inserting data into the new server as well. I have had a play with http://docs.opsview.org/doku.php?id=opsview-community:migrating:spreadsheet and this seems to be a good little tool to mass add hosts. Due to the setup of the slave and the fact you dont actually install opsview but let the master do this I *think* you would have to remove it from the current server anyway and then redeploy it from there Hope this helps Matt From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Small Sent: 28 December 2009 20:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [opsview-users] setting up distributed monitoring environment all, i have a couple of questions: 1) i already have an standard opsview server monitoring 30 client nodes. i want to take what is currently a client in this configuration and make it a opsview master and the machine that is currently the opsview server would become a slave to the new opsview master. is there an easy way to do this, or do i need to uninstall everywhere and start over with the new master/slave configuration? 2) if i have to start over with a new master/slave configuration is there a way to export my current settings and re-import once the master/slave configuration is set? i've searched for documentation on this, but i haven't found anything on pulling an existing opsview monitoring environment into an new distributed (master/slave) monitoring configuration. if it does exist, please feel free to point me to it. thanks!
