Upgrading check_mk from 1.2.8 to 1.6 version

Yep, fresh install as your OS is probably getting further down the supported list so you may as well keep ahead… Once downloaded and installed, perform a full OMD backup of the old instance, copy to new host, restore to new host. I performed this recently both as a fresh install / migration and also P2V from an old physical host to a new VM. I was missing some RRD data but for me most importantly all my hosts, services and rules were all in place, even nagvis was still working!

Good luck!
