Copy historical data to new install

[laferrierem]

Hello Everyone.

 Is it possible to copy over the data from a current install to a new one? I have a few receivers I have been running since this project started and they are in need of updating. However, I would like to keep the data and graphs, maps etc. from the existing setups.

  Thank you.

It should be as simple as copying the RRD files over to the new installation(s).
The files reside in the directory /var/lib/collectd/rrd.

If you already did this and are having issues, can you do me a favor and screen shot the directory structure of your old rrd files and run one of the graph generation jobs manually and paste the output here?

bash ~/adab-receiver/build/graphs/make-collectd-graphs.sh 1h

Looks good. Do not see any errors. Are the graphs showing?

Hello Joseph. Once again, thank you for taking the ADSB receiver project back up and updating things. This is a cool project that I have been sharing with in the amateur radio community. Its easy to grab a Pi, a USB receiver and we can cut our antennas or buy some nice off the shelf ones to get going. The data is from the old version of your receiver. I used to have a link with instructions on how to copy it. Thank you again.

I have another person having rrd data issues but not sure if they are related being his data is from a Graphs1090 installation. My problem is the receiver I had running back before the downtime is no longer at my disposal. Although the code has not really changed, and my current receiver is running fine I cannot discount the fact there might be an issue which needs to be addressed.

I am going to suggest as I did in the discussion linked below. If you are still having issues and do not mind sharing the data contained within the rrd databases feel free to hit me up. I will set up a way for you to share these files if you are not comfortable sharing them here.
