A few heads-up on migrating to new platforms. RRD graphs will get busted if you go from 32 to 64-bit, I think somewhere on the RRDTool website there's an explanation for how to migrate your perf data. http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/index.en.html You will also want to have any previous ZenPacks installed on the new installation before migrating your data over. I haven't seen a good writeup for cross-platform upgrades.
