We're upgrading from slightly older NPM versions (Orion Platform 2014.2.1, QoE 1.0, NPM 11.0.1, NTA 3.11.0) to the latest version of NPM and changing multiple stand-alone NPM instances to one corporate NPM with multiple pollers.
We had to choose between upgrading our existing NPM or going with a clean/fresh install that uses new IP addresses and new servers, new databases, and new names. We chose the Clean Install route, and it's going well enough. We understood that this path would cause us to lose historical statistics. But we hoped that many things we'd built over the years might not need to be manually recreated.
My questions to you are:
1. What process is available to migrate customized reports from a legacy NPM to a new one?
2. How can we migrate nodes monitored only by IP address and include their custom names along with their IP addresses?
3. Is there a simple method of copying, exporting, and importing customized pollers, reports, schedules, etc. from one instance of NPM to a new instance of NPM before shutting the old one down?
Yours,
Rick S.
