Hello community,
With the past upgrade from CEE 1.5 to CEE 1.6 and also later with CEE 1.6 we used the Simulation mode activated in global settings as described here:
That worked very well and very efficient for us. We are able to simulate a complete remote site with just copying from time to time the config and the cache files.
Now we are testing the upgrade from CEE 1.6 → CEE 2.0 but after the simulated site is on 2.0 the check_mk service of Datasource and SNMP agents complains:
Simulation mode enabled and no cached data present
The reason is that the structure below ~/tmp/check_mk has changed in 2.0 for the cache files.
After investigating this we found out that all cache files for Datasource agents now have their own directory below ~/tmp/check_mk/data_source_cache. Thats managable, we only need to find out the new name of the directory and copy over the related files. So far so good, but not for SNMP.
The directory ~/tmp/check_mk/data_source_cache/snmp has now two subdirectories: ./checking and ./discovery. Each file in that dir contains a different kind of SNMP content.
So now, the “Gretchen Frage” is how can I split the former 1.6 SNMP chache file in to the two files in ./checking and ./discovery???
IMPORTANT: Please do only respond to that question. We are fully aware of all the other options to simulate a host but only the simulation mode as described above is efficient enough to fit our needs.
Any help focusing on my question is much apperciated.
regards
Michael
