NINO versions 1 to 4.1.4 use the crontab to execute monitoring scripts. Upgrading to version 4.1.5 or higher do not use the crontab. Please use the cleanup script or remove NINO scripts from the crontab:
list: crontab -l edit: crontab -e
If older nino startup scripts are installed in the /etc/init.d, they need to removed. The nino script in the /var/nino/scripts directory can be used to startup all NINO processes. Please copy this to the /etc/init.d directory and use chkconfig to activate the startup script.
cp /var/nino/scripts/nino /etc/init.d chkconfig --add nino
All NINO configuration settings are located in directory: /var/nino/conf/ The NINO configuration, monitoring presets and other settings are stored in snmp.ini. All user & groups security settings are stored in the files passwd and groups. The NodeMap node positions are stored in /var/nino/mod_perl/nodes.txt. It is important to make a backup of this files.
Do not install the NINO database using a browser, this will initialize the database and will erase all devices and group settings. The http://localhost/nino/install.html is only needed to install NINO from scratch.
