I've done this several times already, even from Ubuntu to Centos.
My short version is as follows:

New build: setup observium as if it was a new install but make sure when creating the mysql db to use the same username password as the old build. DO NOT setup cron yet.

Old box: backup mysql db, copy everything to new box, restore old db to the new mysql db.

setup cron, start mysqld, start httpd.

The config itself is one file, the data though, can be fairly substantial, you need to copy all your rrd's and any other data (possibly your mysql database). On my installation I have something like 60G of data in RRDs.

How hard is it to move/copy the Observium config to a newly built machine?
