this would make a great feature request.

Do you have any instruction on how to revert back the offloaded DB? Restarting continuously is not practical. Thanks stop nagios, then ndo2db, then sql. you need to dump the remote DB, and then import it locally. reverse engineer the instructions for offloading to apply to local once again. then st...

Tried your suggestions. Unfortunately following REST API request still doesn't work. Everything looks OK but Host testatpihost is not created. Input: curl -XPOST "https://cnaxi1097/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/host?apikey=AZQQ4G5jlMtpbBrsgfPhAOnU7nHsraThaZotWs6heD0JqLrZZBgAlXKLkndOBn60&pretty=1&...

you could build your own plugin to wrap around existing ones for your windows need, and compare the logic - this will work.

imo - you should look outside of a configuration tool, and more into automating it. this can be done with templates / grouping in Nagios, hooked into automation tools such as chef, or ansible - then served with github for source control. the tools help initially, but if you're configuring each servi...

if that doesn't work, additionally, can you post your host & service config?

you may have multiple notifications, escalations, or event handlers configured - thus triggering SN multiple times.

i *think* this should work for you - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Backing-Up-And-Restoring-Nagios-XI.pdf if not, here's a few creative ways you could pull the info: - /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat - running config - /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache - compiled config - /usr...
