This is very easy, just export your current MySQL database and import it into the new MySQL server (Google should be your friend with this). Obviously you’ll need to make sure you have the same user / permissions / etc.

Then just copy your RRD directory into the same directory on the new server as it was on the existing one after you’ve installed Observium from SVN. Now would probably also be a good time to get PHP7 going – I can confirm these packages function properly with Observium on CentOS7: https://webtatic.com/packages/php70/ .

Are there instructions somewhere for moving Observium?  I don't know how to migrate mysql. I was hoping there are concise Observium instructions, much like the excellent install page.

You'll need to also migrate and redirect your MySQL database too.

So I have my new CentOS7 system ready to go, moving from a CentOS6 VM. I thought I'd found it before, but I can't find instructions for moving observium to a different system (same x86_64 architecture).  I can move the RRDs, but isn't there more to it, like migrating mysql data?

I've looked through the documentation.  Perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong text.  Any links someone can point to, or instructions for moving from one host to another?

Thanks.
