To keep all history and settings after reinstalling from a backup or otherwise moving to another computer these files have to be copied from the original installation.

PellMon 0.6.1 and newer installed from the debian package

RRD database:

/var/lib/pellmon/rrd.db

or if you are using a ramdisk:

/var/lib/pellmon/nvrrd.db

Plugin settings:

/var/lib/pellmon/pellmon_settings.db

Event log:

/var/log/pellmonsrv/pellmon.log

Configuration files:

/etc/pellmon/pellmon.conf
+ all *.conf files in all subdirectories of /etc/pellmon

In a default installation these are:

/etc/pellmon/pellmon.conf
/etc/pellmon/conf.d/email.conf
/etc/pellmon/conf.d/enabled_plugins.conf

or if you are using a ramdisk:

/usr/local/var/lib/pellmon/nvrrd.db

Plugin settings, one file for each plugin:

/usr/local/lib/Pellmonsrv/plugins/<plugin-name>/values.conf
