Migrate content directories for ArcGIS Monitor

Summary

It is possible to migrate the content and Mongo directories for an existing ArcGIS Monitor installation without uninstalling and reinstalling the software. This workflow is for when ArcGIS Monitor will remain on the same machine, but the directories must be changed due to storage and disk space considerations.

If the initial directory specified for the Mongo path is filling up and more space cannot be allocated, this workflow can be performed to change the directories to a drive with more disk space.

Procedure

1. Stop the ArcGIS Monitor Windows services. 
2. Copy the folder from the original location to the target location, for example, from C:\ArcGIS Monitor\Mongo to D:\ArcGIS Monitor\Mongo
3. Apply permissions over the new directory so the service account can read/write.
4. Edit the configuration file found at the following location: \ArcGIS Monitor\Server\settings\config.db.
   In the mongo parameter make the following changes to the dbPath and dbLogPath values, for example:

"dbPath": "D:\\ArcGIS Monitor\\Mongo\\Data",
"dbLogPath": "D:\\ArcGIS Monitor\\Mongo\\logs",

5. Restart the ArcGIS Monitor Windows services and Monitor will pick up the new path.
