Unfortunately the old server is very dead. In a nutshell I've inherited a few mrtg servers, all set up by the same bloke quite some ago, with no documentation from him how he did it. This one has died a death so all I have is backups of the files from it etc

Is the old server still running? If so, do the following. Do a couple of iterations and script it so that you can do this excercise fast, inbetween two MRTG runs. Wait some time for comments on this email, and test the procedure well, as it has been years ago since I performed this action. Things may have changed, including my memory. 1: run mrtg once on the old server, simultaneously with the new server. This is important, doing this will sync the 2 files' timestamps. The goal is to have lines 3 and beyond look the same, except for the actual rates. 2: find the line where the old server still had data 3: generate a new file from two parts: 3a: the new file, upto but not including the line found in (1) 3b: the old file, from the line found in (1) and beyond (= older) Once you are confident that you did steps 1..3 right and you end up with a valid log file: 4: replace the log file on the new server with the one you just created 5: delete the graphs 6: wait until MRTG runs again, and look at the newly created images It goes without saying that you should make copies of your files before screwing up, so that you can revert this action and try again.
