How do I move SNMPc to a different computer?

Moving SNMPc to a new system
----------------------------
The best way is to do a backup on one, install SNMPc on the new computer, then copy over the backup files and do a restore.

If you're changing the IP address of the machine as well, there is a quick way to switch over all the "Polling Agent" attributes to the new machine. There are two ways to resolve this:

1/ Once you've restored the map, shut down SNMPc, edit the SNMPC.INI file and set the MyAddress value in the [Server] section to the OLD IP ADDRESS. When you re-start SNMPc it will see that the MyAddress value does not match the REAL address and will update all the icons in the map from the old poller address to the new one. This could take some time during the startup.

2/ Use the Edit/Find menu to search for all objects of type device. In the displayed window, select all lines (click, shift-click) and use the right-click Properties menu. Select the attributes tab and change the Polling Agent attribute to the new address.

In both cases you need to manually change the Polling Agent attribute in the "Config/Default Object menu". There are some directory configurations in SNMPc that you may need to change as well. Once you have started SNMPc again and logged in, go to the "Config/Trend Reports" menu, set the directory where the web reports are saved, then go to the "Config/Backup & Resore" menu and set the correct directory here as well.

Lastly, you will need to use the "Config/Discovery Agents" menu, delete the old entry and configure the new entry.

Please note that all the configuration files are not stored in the backup. You will have to manually copy the SNMPC.INI file (this file is already included in the backup in SNMPc 7.0) from the main directory and the NAMES.TXT file from the mibfiles directory (this is the list of MIBs to compile) along with any other MIBs you have added to SNMPc. You should copy the MIBFILES directory before doing the backup restore so that the MIBs are already in place if SNMPc needs to recompile the MIBs if the database format has changed from one version of SNMPc to another.
You can close this window when you are done.
