Converting the Uptime DataStore from MySQL to SQL Server

To keep your historical performance data and migrate your Uptime Infrastructure Monitor datastore from a MySQL database to SQL Server, please complete the following steps:

1. Stop the up.time Data Collector:  

   Unix: #/etc/init.d/uptime_core stop 
   Windows: > net stop "up.time data collector"

2. Dump the database:

    > /scripts/fulldatabasedump

3. Set up the SQL Server database.

4. Edit the <uptime_dir>\uptime.conf and <uptime_dir>\controller\resources\uptime_controller.conf file to point to the new database by commenting out the MySQL lines and uncommenting the SQL Server lines. 

   #dbDriver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver  
   #dbType=mysql 
   #dbHostname=localhost  
   #dbPort=3308  
   #dbName=uptime  
   #dbUsername=uptime  
   #dbPassword=uptime  
    
   #example SQL Server configuration  
   dbDriver=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver  
   dbType=mssql 
   dbHostname=localhost  
   dbPort=1433  
   dbName=uptime  
   dbUsername=user  
   dbPassword=password

5. Stop the MySQL database: 

   Unix: # /etc/init.d/uptime_datastore stop  
   Windows: > net stop "up.time data store"

6. Initialize the database:

   > / resetdb --nodata really

7. Import the database to SQL Server:

   > /scripts/fulldatabaseimport

8. Start the data collector: 

   Unix: # /etc/init.d/uptime_core start  
   Windows: > net start "up.time data collector"
