Migration to Nagios XI

Post by jalzurix »

We have been working with Nagios for some time and It's a very important tool for us.

We have been developing many additional funcionalities on Nagios BPI. We have automatized some processes and we have personalized this Front to add more information to each service. We have added a button to link each one to an exteral page too.

Now we have decided to migrate to Nagios XI and we have found that Nagios BPI is parte of his new core. What can we do?

Have anyone the same problem?

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure if I understand you properly, but BPI is part of Nagios XI. Plus, there is a migration path to import things from Nagios Core to Nagios XI so you may not need to do anything other than copy files to the proper locations and run the import. This document is a great place to start:

BPI can be installed with Core
https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagiosbpi

But as far as customization XI uses a very different version.

The only thin you can do would be to bring over your BPI configuration, I don't see a path to easily bring over your customizations to the interface.

Thanks for your replay Eloyd. The fact is that we have modified Nagios BPI because it was an open source project, but in Nagios BPI is part of the core and we have to work with this version, it hasn't the functionalities we added for the previous version.

We'll go on for a solution :(

Thanks scottwilkerson, there isn't an easy way to do that. We'll try to find a way for that.

For migrating the configuration, in BPI in your new XI system, if you click "Manually Edit Config" upper right you can put in the config from your other BPI.

That's what I was referring to.

However if it was altered to meet the needs of your modified BPI, yes it would need to be manipulated first.
