Switching from MAP (Legacy) to MAP
This topic describes how to move from Centreon MAP (Legacy) to Centreon MAP by importing your legacy maps into your MAP module.
Requirements
Centreon MAP must be installed in your environment. See the MAP installation procedure if needed.
Before you start the procedure to import legacy maps into MAP, you need to switch from MAP (Legacy) to MAP by activating the MAP module.
In case you want to install MAP on the same server as MAP (Legacy), you need to make sure that free disk space is at least equal to used space. Indeed, after migration, the new database will coexist with the legacy one.
Importing legacy maps into MAP
When you import your legacy maps, any content created in MAP is deleted.
Step 1: Install MAP
You need first to install Centreon MAP. Go to this page to perform the installation and switch to the MAP Engine server.
Step 2: Migrate images
If you have imported images into your desktop client (to custom folders outside the Centreon folder), and used them in your maps, you need first to migrate them to your central server.
In the MAP (Legacy) desktop client, in the Media panel, select all images you want to migrate from your custom folders, then right-click them and select Export.
Save the images to your computer.
In the central server, go to Administration > Parameters > Images, then upload all the images from your computer to the centreon-map folder. Be careful not to change the name of your images during this process.
Step 3: Update MAP (Legacy)
For the icons to be displayed properly after you migrate your maps, you need to update your MAP (legacy) by running the following commands:
systemctl stop centreon-map
yum update centreon-map-server
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start centreon-map
Step 4: Migrate maps
To import your legacy maps into MAP, go to the Monitoring > Map page, then click the Migrate button. The following window appears:
Click Migrate.
When the migration succeeded, you can close the window.
Your legacy maps are now displayed on the Map page.
