I have two Zenoss Core servers at two sites that monitor hosts at in their respective facilities. They are independent of each other, but one of the servers is being removed. I need to combine them into one server to monitor both sites. Would zenbatchdump and zenbatchload be the best way to combine them They share a couple common hosts between the sites and Im trying not to have duplicates. Thanks in advance!

Yes, if both systems are the same.

Careful with zenbatchload, if you try to add a device that already exists it will overwrite that device with any settings you have in the load.

For example,

if zExampleZproperty on device serverA is 'test' in your Zenoss1, but in your Zenoss2 it is 'temp'. And in your zenbatchload file it is set to 'temp', when you run it, it will change 'test' to 'temp'.

You can run it with a --nocommit to see what it would do, without committing changes to the database.
