Further information
This chapter only provides a very short overview of the migration process and tasks involved. Depending on your source Cacti installation, there are numerous other things to take care of. The WMI polling interface, for example, is quite different between a Linux and Windows system. Also, some scripts may not work due to being written in Bash or Perl, which require additional tools to be installed. The main difference right now is the localhost device, which changed from being a Linux system to a Windows system with different drives, network devices, and SNMP settings.
In the event you run into any issues, you should check the Cacti forum for any information regarding your issue and ask for help if required.
