1. Recreate monitors/groups.

2. Integrate with BSM, create 2 profiles and start copying from one to another

3. Create templates from the group of monitors and import them to the new SiteScope Installation, deploy.

Answer

Method 3: explanation how to perform the copy of monitors from one SiteScope to another.

This is done via

BSM >> Admin >> System Availability Management >> original SiteScope GUI >> right click on Monitor/group >> SAM” Actions >> Copy.

Then in destination SiteScope do the same >> Paste:

Note:
Notice that monitors that use external files like DB drivers, Web Logic JMX client jar file, etc. will need to have these files copied to the destination SiteScope file system before copying.
Otherwise it will fail (It is like creating the monitor manually in destination SiteScope).
