Upgrading Hostmon: Can you transfer tests and use old RMAs?

Post by CountiesPowerAdmin »

We are looking to buy a new server and upgrade to the latest version of Hostmon.

I have a couple of question on that note:

- Can we export our current Hostmon tests (v7.5) to a file and import them into the latest version of Hostmon?

- Will old RMA agents work with the latest version of Hostmon?

Sure you can export and import test settings but I don't think you need to do this.

1) If you just want to update software, download new version, start installation program, choose "Update/Repair" mode (should be selected by program automatically) and then just use new version with all you settings.

2) If you want to move our software from one system to another as part of upgrade process then you should move all settings including mail profiles, report profiles, actions and so on (not just test settings).
How to do? Its pretty easy as well. Please check the following article:

Some tests will work, some don't.
Please use all components of the software (HostMonitor, RMA, RCC, Web Service, etc) from the same package/
