I think what I want to do is straight-forward, but I haven't seen it discussed so though I'd throw it out just in case there are some hidden issues. I want to rearrange my menus because of organizational changes. I think this can be accomplished by stopping Smokeping, changing the config info for the affected items, mv'ing (renaming) the appropriate files and/or directories and restarting Smokeping. Here's an example of what I want to do
OldMenu OldConfig Old File TopLevel + TopLevel -> menu=TopLevel $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel - Entry1 ++ Entry1 -> menu=Entry1 $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel/Entry1 -- Target1 +++ Target1-> menu=Target1,host=... $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel/Entry1/Target1.rrd - Entry2 ++ Entry2 -> menu=Entry2 $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel/Entry2 NewMenu NewConfig New File NewTop + NewTop -> menu=TopLevel $SMOKEPING_DATA/NewTop - EntryA ++ EntryA -> menu=EntryA $SMOKEPING_DATA/NewTop/EntryA -- TargetB +++ TargetB-> menu=TargetB,host=... $SMOKEPING_DATA/NewTop/EntryA/TargetB.rrd - Entry2 ++ Entry2 -> menu=Entry2 $SMOKEPING_DATA/NewTop/Entry2 Steps: 1) Stop Smokeping 2) cd $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel/Entry1; mv Target1.rrd TargetB.rrd 3) cd $SMOKEPING_DATA/TopLevel; mv Entry1 EntryA 4) cd $SMOKEPING_DATA; mv TopLevel NewTop 5) edit $SMOKEPING/etc/configs to reflect locations as above 6) double check all of the above! ;-) 7) re-start $SMOKEPING Anyone see any gotcha's in the above?
