Hi,

we migrated our installation to a new HW and Debian stable (3.14.15-1 -> 3.15.5-1). I got all dump.py data migrated without problems. Now we got a lot of User Accounts and Groups with a lot of different Privilidges attached to them. Is there also a (painless) way of transforming this data into the new installation?

No, not really. The "dump.py -> bulk import" route is mainly for bootstrapping a completely new installation, and contains only the necessary seed data for monitoring the same things as before. If you just want to re-establish everything as it was on a new server, you want to do a full dump of PostgreSQL. The procedure is more or less documented at [1]. You might also want to move your RRD files, if you want to keep your old time-series data.
