Migration to another system

You can use your existing ServerSentinel configuration on a different system by migrating it. There are two ways to do so:

Variant 1: Migrating without database and without global settings

With this variant your configured sensors and actions will be imported but you will lose all the collected data. Global settings like the mail template are also lost.

1.Export your sensor configuration

2.Install ServerSentinel on the system you want to migrate to

3.Copy the exported XML file to the new system

4.Import the XML file into ServerSentinel on the new system

Variant 2: Migrating with database and global settings

With this variant your configured sensors and actions will be imported and your collected data will be preserved. Global settings like the mail template will be preserved as well.

1.Copy the directory from %ProgramData%\JAM Software\ServerSentinel\ from the old system to the new one

a.If you are using the embedded database and configured it to be located on another path than the default one, you need to copy it as well and place it under the same path on the new system.

2.Install ServerSentinel on the new system
