We did not install the same version. We installed the newest version and a new OS.

What is the proper method to move from different versions of Nagios XI and OS?

OLD
CentOS 6.9
Nagios XI 5.4.13

NEW
CentOS 7.5.1804
Nagios XI 5.6.5

We tried the Back-up-and-Restore documentation and this is the output it didn't work :). We are going to test the "Migration" method later today. [root@lxjh531 nagiosxi]# /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restore_xi.sh /store/backups/nagiosxi/1566142282.tar.gz WARNING: you are trying to restore ...

1. We built a new server, tar'ed up all the cfg files on old server and copied them to new server where we used the import config file tool. Then committed. 2. No they are not getting any notifications. 3. From what we can tell the escalations/notifications have not been working since day one. 4. Us...

We are in the process of migrating from an older Nagios version to new one by doing a new install. We have successfully migrated everything and all seems to be functioning "normally" with one exception. Our service/host escalation are set to go to user "A". But all notifications ...

Found the problem. Some how, some way one of my admins was able to remove a host from a service which was causing the problem. I am not sure why I didn't see it in the log files.

System is working fine now.

From what I can tell from the audit logs no commits have been done since 2/10/2019 @ 13:19, where a host was added for monitoring. We went to update our on-call list this morning and now we are getting errors related to "an escalation but is not defined anywhere!" I deactivate the escalati...

Issue can be marked resolved. OS was updated and nagios got installed from EPEL. I removed those RPM's, re-ran the upgrade script for NagiosXI and then copied an init script from another XI box. System seems to operating normally. Follow up question. Do you use/need the epel repo enabled for NagiosX...

Same issue: however started digging. I thought the install was a build. Have you switched to RPM's? [root@lxjh159 init.d]# rpm -qa | grep nagios nagios-common-4.3.2-5.el6.x86_64 nagios-repo-6-2.el6.noarch nagios-4.3.2-5.el6.x86_64 Snippet from init script: [root@lxjh159 init.d]# cat nagios #!/bin/sh...

Ran the script it came back with no errors, i have attached the output as a file. Yes i have the green check mark in the upper right hand corner, see attachment for image capture. [root@lxjh159 ~]# ps -ef|grep bin/nagios nagios 61838 1 1 Jul26 ? 05:08:55 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/na...

Yes, and a file is written into the configuration directory. The host doesn't show up on the dashboard.
