Thanks Adam, yeah – noticed the enterprise version and distributed polling is new and highly appreciate that features. I’ve installed one manually and one with the script – only wanted to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong or messing up something.

We have a datacenter in US, EU and CN where the RRDCache and MySQL instance is running in EU and I want to deploy two or three pollers in every other datacenter. Anyone using MySQL active/active or Galera cluster or is it recommended to stick with a single MySQL server?

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alexander,

These are very new features, and the documentation is trailing a little. I think the documentation for the distributed setup on the site is still only partially complete. As is the way when you have to decide between code and documentation! :)

At the moment the script doesn't have an option to install a "partial" install, but a regular one will do fine. You can remove mysql and apache after the install.

When updating the master and slave instances, you only need to do "./discovery.php -u" on the master, since that's where all of the data is held. The rest only need svn up for code updates.

Is there a docu or install guide for the distributed setup? I have manually installed the rrd and mysql server – the install script only has the option to install the community, pro stable, pro rolling and unix agent. How to I install the gui server and pollers properly that they are all getting updated? Do I have to run the install script on every poller and remove the packages I do not need on them – like mysql server?

thx, Alex

Hi Darren,

No, it’s a fresh install – I was using the community version for nearly two years and I’m quite happy with it. Since the community version is running on Wheezy I’m doing a fresh install on Stretch.

Hi Alex,

Have you ever updated Professional to Enterprise? We've got quite a few years of legacy data in our Professional instance and of course, we'd like to retain all of that during the migration to Enterprise.

Please post again about your progress with distributed Enterprise - that's the next challenge over here.

Many thanks

Darren

No, going to export the device list and bulk adding it via the cli;

Thanks Alex,

Do you plan to import your legacy data from your Community instance to your Enterprise instance?

Regards

Darren

Hi Adam/Alex,

Rather than trying to simply install Enterprise over the top of an existing Professional instance, it sounds like it's better to build a new machine, install Enterprise and then migrate the legacy data over to the new machine?

If it's possible to directly update a Pro instance to Enterprise, please let me know before I start building the new server :-)

Thanks again

Darren

Hi Adam,

The Professional instance is running under CentOS 7 with PHP 7.0.30 (yes, I know it needs updating... blush) and RRDtool 1.6.0.

The new build/machine approach is becoming more appealing...

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

The codebase is actually the same, the differentiator is licensing of features, instance limit and support levels.

What distro and PHP versions are you currently running? It might still be worth migrating to a new server if you're can be bothered, since there've been some nice performance improvements in later PHP/RRD versions.

Thanks, adam.
